nature  of  Mr  Gilbert's  project  was

Mr 


Major  on  his  visit  to  the  Middle 
East  three  weeks  ago,  though  on 
that  occasion  he  was  an  adviser  in' 
viewof  his  expertise  as  a  historian of 
the  Holocaust and  of  Jewish  affairs. 

A  Downing  Street  official  raid  the 


-  It  is  highly  unusual  far  historians 
to  be  given  such  dose  access  to  a 
politician  who  is  still  active  and  in 
office.  Edmund  Morris  was  given 
similar  treatment  towards  the  end 
of  Ronald  Reagan's  presidency.  The 
dosest  British  parallel  is  John 
Mi? ley,  who  wrote  die  classic 


official  biography  of  Gladstone  after 
observing  him  closely  as  a  member 
of  his  last  cabinet  in  the  1890s. 

An  approved  biography  of  Mr 
Major  is  now  being  written  by 
Anthony  Seldon.  a  prominent  con¬ 
temporary  historian.  This  is  due  far 
publication  in  the  autumn  of  next 
year. 

Apart  from  his  mammoth  biogra¬ 
phy  of  Churchill.  Mr  Gilbert  has 
written  extensively  on  20th  century 
conflicts,  inducting  both  world 
wars,  fn  July  last  year  when  he 
produced  an  account  of  how  he 


approached  the  Churchill  biogra¬ 
phy.  he  said  that  he  was  thinking 
about  writing  about  some  other 
British  figure.  “Bui  I  have  no  one  in 
mind.  Any  suggestions  would  be 
gratefully  received." 

His  presence  at  John  Major's  side 
on  a  particularly  awkward  visit  to 
Washington  confirms  that  Chur¬ 
chill’s  most  distinguished  biogra¬ 
pher  is  new  one”  of  the  Prime 
Minister's  dosest  confidants.  Mr 
Gilbert  has  in  fact  been  contributing 
to  Mr  Major's  speeches  since  the 
two  men  became  friends  before  the 


1992  general  election.  Tne  histori¬ 
an's  rapport  with  the  Prime  Minis¬ 
ter  seems  to  be  based  on  mutual 
regard;  Mr  Major  evidently  finds 
Mr  Gilbert's  liberal  views  quite 
congenial.  lndeed.Mr  Gilbert,  59.  is 
exactly  the  kind  of  polymath  that 
any  politician  would  like  to  have 
around.  Mrs  Thatcher,  for  example, 
invited  the  historian  Hugh  Thomas 
(Lord  Thomas  of  Swynnertonj  to 
accompany  her  on  visits  to  Latin 
America.  '

Ministers  study 
£8,000  ‘learning 
credits’  scheme 


By  Nicholas  Wood,  chief  political  correspondent 


PLANS  to  issue  education 
vouchers  worth  up  to  £8,000  to 
sixth  formers  will  be  exam¬ 
ined  by  Cabinet  ministers  this 
week  in  an  attempt  to  make 
schools,  colleges  and  employ¬ 
ers  more  responsive  to  fee 
career  ambitions  of  young 
people. 

The  proposed  shake-up. 
which  would  put  fee  funding 
of  academic  courses  on  fee 
same  footing  as  vocational 
ones,  would  have  far-reaching 
effects  on  school  sixth  forms. 

Those  feat  attracted  plenty 
of  16-year-olds  keen  to  stay  on 
and  do  A  levels  would  flour¬ 
ish.  But  those  that  lost  many  of 
their  pupils  to  rival  colleges  of 
further  education  or  employ¬ 
er-based  courses  would  come 
under  financial  pressure. 

Michael  PbrtilJo.  fee  Em¬ 
ployment  Secretary,  is  under¬ 
stood  to  be  attracted  by  a 
scheme  intended  to  give  great¬ 
er  consumer  power  to  young 
people  planning  their  futures 
and  to  replace  the  effective 
monopoly  enjoyed  by  many 
schools  and  colleges  wife  the 
dynamism  of  an  educational 

marketplace. 

He  will  urge  his  fellow 
ministers  to  test  its  prac¬ 
ticalities  by  running  three  or 
four  pilot  projects  involving 
about  25.000  16-year-olds.  He 
could  run  into  opposition  from 
Gillian  Shephard,  die  Educa¬ 
tion  Secretary,  who  might 


resist  any  encroachment  onto 
her  territory. 

Although  John  Major  has 
made  dear  the  Government 
sees  no  place  for  vouchers  for 
children  of  compulsory  school 
age  and  will  not  breach  the 
principle  of  free  state  school¬ 
ing  for  fee  5-16  age  group, 
vouchers  are  being  seen  by 
ministers  as  the  best  way  of 
expanding  provision  for  youn¬ 
ger  and  older  children. 

An  announcement  about  a 
voucher  scheme  for  nursery 
schools  is  expected  shortly  and 
Mr  Portillo  is  keen  to  try  out 
fee  idea  for  the  16-19  age 
group. 

The  Cabinet's  home  and 
social  affaire  committee, 
which  meets  on  Thursday, 
will  have  before  it  a  report 
from  Coopers  and  Lybrand,  a 
firm  of  management  consuh 
iants.  on  “learning  credits”. 

A  key  issue  for  ministers  is 
whether  teenagers  will  be  able 
to  keep  fee  “loose  change"  if  a 
course  costs  less  than  the 
value  of  their  voucher.  The 
prospect  of  sixth  formers 
being  asked  to  top  up  their 
vouchers  to  meet  the  cost  of 
courses  is  being  discounted. 

The  committee  is  chaired  by 
Tony  Newton,  fee  Commons 
Leader,  and  has  a  wide  mem¬ 
bership  of  ministers  involved 
in  domestic  policy.

ANNE  INGRAM,  mother  of 
the  British-born  murderer  due 
to  die  in  Georgia's  electric 
chair  this  Thursday,  flew  from 
Atlanta  to  Washington  yester¬ 
day  in  a  desperate  but  futile 
attempt  to  persuade  John  Ma¬ 
jor  to  intervene  on  her  son's 
behalf. 

The  Prime  Minister  refused 
to  see  Mrs  Ingram  between 
his  meetings  with  top  Ameri¬ 
can  officials  and  congressmen. 
Instead,  he  sent  her  a  note 
sympathising  wife  her  suffer¬ 
ing  bm  saying  there  was 
nothing  he  could  do.  She  spent 
nearly  an  hour  presenting  her 
case  to  Peter  Westmacon.  the 
political  counsellor  at  the  Brit¬ 
ish  Embassy,  and  then  flew 
bade  to  Atlanta. 

Mrs  Ingrain  said  she  had 
told  Mr  Westmacoft  of  new 
information  that  her  son. 
Nicholas.  32,  had  been  on 
antipsychotic  drugs  during  his 
trial  and  unable  property  to 
defend  himself.  She  said  she 
would  wait  to  see  what  fee 
Prime  Minister  thought  of  this 
new  information,  bm  added 
that  whatever  he  answered.

she  had  “not  given  up  this 
fight,  not  by  a  long  shot”. 

Mrs  Ingram,  herself  Brit¬ 
ish,  said  she  had  come  to 
Washington  “as  a  mother 
hying  to  save  her  son”  She 
described  her  son  as  “very 


scared.  He  can  see  that  time's 
running  out  for  him." 

Mrs  Ingram’s  son  has  been 
on  death  row  for  12  years  after 
comiction  for  murdering  a’ 
neighbour  during  a  burglary. 
The  British  Government  be¬ 
lieves  feat  there  are  no 
grounds  for  Mr  Major  to 
intervene. The  Prime  Minister 
gave  her  his  reasons  for  feat 
view  in  a  letter,  dated  March 
31,  which,  unusually  in  a 
prime  ministerial  letter  of  the 
kind,  was  handwritten. 

He  wrote  that  he  had 
thought  “very  long  and  care¬ 
fully  about  the  positron  and 
understood  how  deeply  dis¬

It  was  plain,  the  judge  said, 
that  the  defendants  felt  they

A  question  of  turning  the  tables  on  inquisitors 


FOUR  hundred  and  eighty- 
nine  journalists  now  have 
parliamentary  press  passes. 
We  know  this  because  it  was 
revealed  in  a  Written  Answer 
from  the  Chairman  of  the 
Administration  Committee 
last  week. 

Peter  Bottomley  (C, 
Ellham)  had  inquired. 
Bottomley  is  on  the  warpath 
after  newspapers  suggested 
that  MPs  were  enjoying  an 
effective  three-day  week. 

"Will  he  arrange  to  monitor 
for  a  week  the  number  of 
journalists  in  the  gallery  dur¬ 
ing  each  hour  the  House 
sits?”  Bottomley  added. 

“Yes,”  was  the  reply,  “I 


have  asked  the  Serjeant  at 
Arms  to  make  arrangements 
for  the  first  full  sitting  week 
after  the  House  returns  from 
the  Easter  adjournment.” 

f  regret  to  say  that 
Bottomley's  warning  has  yet 
to  sink  in.  Choosing  a  particu¬ 
larly  riveting  moment  of  yes¬ 
terday  afternoon's  proceed¬ 
ings  when,  at  5.43pm.  MPs 
were  considering  New  Clause 
I  at  the  Report  Stage  of  the 
Finance  Bill.  I  peered  in  to 
check.  David  Winnick  (Lab, 
Walsall  N)  was  on  his  fed. 
Besides  Winnick  there  were 
17  MPs  in  the  Chamber. 

There  was  one  journalist  in 
the  Press  Gallery.  He  was  not

taking  notes.  Where  were  die 
other  488?  We  must  pull  up 
our  socks  fast  if  we  are  to 
survive  the  head  counts. 

Mr  Bottomley’s  spies  will 
either  have  to  keep  a  continu¬ 
ous  tally,  or  make  random 
swoops.  For  if  the  count  takes 
place  at  the  same  time  each 
hour  we  will  soon  learn  when 
that  is,  and  file  in  like 
prisoners  to  the  prison  yard 
for  the  taking  of  the  register 
—  then  escape  back  behind 


bars.  Many  journalists  con¬ 
sider  the  Bottomley  plan 
outrageous. 

But  this  column  is  con¬ 
cerned  not  that  it  is  too  bold — 
but  dial  it  is  too  timid.  The 
mere  fact  of  a  reporter's 
physical  presence  is  no  guar¬ 
antee  that  he  or  she  is 
listening,  understanding,  or, 
indeed,  awake.  Ten  seconds 
of  Winnick  yesterday  had  my 
eyes  glazing  over. 

There  are  two  ways  Mr  B 


might  check  that  we  were 
doing  our  job.  The  first  (and 
less  ambitious)  is  that  Mad¬ 
am  Speaker  be  empowered  to 
interrupt  MPs*  speeches  at 
any  point,  crane  her  neck  up 
at  the  Press  Gallery,  select 
any  journalist  at  random,  and 
calt  "You  —  yes,  you,  young 
lady  —  Alice  Thomson!  What 
was  Mr  Winnick  just  say¬ 
ing?”  And  (assuming  she  bad 
a  note)  Alice  would  have  to  try 
to  read  her  shorthand  back  as 
MPs  giggled  and  jeered. 

For  expert  political  editors, 
this  spotcbeck  could  go  fur¬ 
ther.  As  (for  instance)  Mr 
Major  droned  “I  refer  my  Rt 
Hon  friend  to  the  answer  f 


gave  on  2D  March.  1991”. 
Miss  Boothroyd  could  hark 
up  at  us:  “Now  left  see  who 
rally  knows  their  stuff.  To 
what  is  the  Prime  Minister 
referring  here?  Hands  up! 
Yes,  Peter  Riddell . .  ” 

But  my  more  ambitious 
plan  is.  1  think,  die  best  Apart 
from  Questions  to  depart¬ 
mental  ministers,  each  Wed¬ 
nesday  would  feature  quarter 
of  an  hour  for  Questions  to 
newspaper  editors.  On  foe 
first  Wednesday  after  Easier, 
we  might  have  Questions  to 
the  Editor  of  The  Inde¬ 
pendent  newspaper. 

Mr  Ian  Hargreaves,  sitting 
among  us  upstairs;  would  be

Blair  dismisses  two 
frontbenchers  for 
unauthorised  trip 


By  Jill  Sherman 

POLITICAL  CORRESPONDENT 

TONY  BLAIR  took  a  tough 
approach  to  party  discipline 
yesterday  by  sacking  two  Lab¬ 
our  frontbenchers  for  taking 
an  unauthorised  trip  abroad 

Ann  Clwyd  and  Jim  Cous¬ 
ins.  both  from  Labour’s  for¬ 
eign  affairs  team,  were 
dismissed  after  going  on  a 
five-day  visit  to  Turkey  and 
Iraq  without  getting  permis¬ 
sion  from  Derek  Foster. 
Labour's  Chief  Whip.  Deter¬ 
mined  to  assert  his  authority 
on  his  frontbench  team,  the 
Labour  leader  reprimanded 
Ms  Clwyd  and  Mr  Cousins  for 
missing  a  series  of  key  votes  in 
the  Commons  last  week. 

The  MPs  left  on  Sunday. 
March  26.  missing  votes  on 
the  Disabled  Rights  Bill  and  a 
three-line  whip  on  an  educa¬ 
tion  debate,  before  returning 
last  Friday. 

The  visit,  to  monitor  the 
Turkish  army's  incursion 
against  Kurdish  guerrillas  in 
Iraq,  also  meant  that  two  of 
Labour's  foreign  affairs  team 
were  absent  during  Foreign 
Office  questions  in  the  Com¬ 
mons  last  Wednesday. 

They  have  been  dismissed 
for  going  abroad  without  the 
permission  of  the  whips  or  of 
the  Shadow  Foreign  Secretary 
and  subsequently  failing  to 
return  for  important  votes, 
having  been  asked  to  do  so."  a 
spokesman  for  Mr  Blair  said. 

Ms  Clwyd,  who  had  previ- 


Cousins:  not  whingeing 

ously  been  sacked  from  the 
front  bench  by  Neil  Kinnodc 
for  voting  against  Labour  on  a 
defence  vote,  immediately  at¬ 
tacked  the  derision  as  "un¬ 
fair”.  But  Mr  Cousins 
aaxpted  the  decision  and  told 
her  to  stop  “whingeing". 

Ms  Clwyd  said  that  her 
dismissal  was  due  to  a  long¬ 
standing  argument  with  one 
of  the  senior  Labour  whips, 
the  pairing  whip  Ray  Powell 

■She  argued  she  had  been 
treated  unfairly,  insisting  that 
she  had  had  a  good  voting 
record  and  had  been  absent 
from  the  Commons  only  once 
this  year. 

T  am  quite  prepared  to  take 
punishment  when  1  think  it  is 
deserved  but  I  do  not.  in  the 
circumstances,  believe  it  was 
deserved.”  Ms  Clwyd  said. 


Major  challenges 
Adams  to  discuss 
decommissioning 

From  Peter  Riddell  in  Washington 


JOHN  MAJOR  challenged 
Gerry  Adams  and  Sinn  Fein 
yesterday  to  start  serious  dis¬ 
cussions  about  decommis¬ 
sioning  the  IRA's  weapons 
and  explosives. 

Speaking  in  Washington, 
the  Prime  Minister  brushed 
aside  Mr  Adams's  comment 
that  he  did  not  have  any 
confidence  in  Mr  Major,  who 
should  follow  the  example  of 
President  Clinton  and  "sue  for 
peace". 

Mr  Major  said  that  he  did 
not  care  what  the  President  of 
Sinn  Fein  thought.  What  he 
was  concerned  about  was  that 
Sinn  Fein  "comes  along  and 
engages  in  constructive  dis¬ 
cussions  that  will  lead  to  a 
decommissioning  of  arms”. 

Mr  Major  discussed  the 
Northern  Ireland  situation  in 
his  talks  with  members  of  the 
Administration  and  with  con¬ 
gressional  leaders.  Mr  Major 
was  given  strong  support  on 
the  decommissioning  issue  by 
Warren  Christopher,  the  US 
Secretary  of  State.  Both  Mr 
Major  and  Mr  Christopher 
were  ai  pains  to  put  behind 
them  the  differences  last 
month  over  Mr  Adams's  visit 


to  Washington.  Mr  Major 
described  these  differences  as 
“a  spat,  as  there  is  in  the  best 
of  families”. 

Sir  Patrick  Mayhew.  the 
Northern  Ireland  Secretary, 
said  he  hoped  that  ministerial 
talks  with  Sinn  Fein  could 
begin  soon. 

Mr  Major  and  the  Clinton 
Administration  proclaimed 
their  agreement  on  a  wide 
range  of  international  issues, 
headed  by  the  Bosnian  con¬ 
flict,  as  a  preparation  for  the 
meeting  today  at  the  While 
House  between  the  Prime 
Minister  and  the  President. 

On  Bosnia,  both  govern¬ 
ments  agreed  on  the  need  to 
re  invigorate  the  international 
contact  group  to  prolong  the 
cessation  of  hostilities  due  to 
end  later  this  month.  How¬ 
ever.  Mr  Major  failed  to 
persuade  Senator  Robert 
Dole,  the  Republican  majority 
leader,  of  the  strong  British 
opposition  to  the  unilateral 
lifting  of  sanctions  against 
arms  supplies  to  foe  Bosnian 
Muslims.

She  argued  that  she  had  been 
invited  at  the  last  minute  by 
Erdai  inonu,  foe  new  Turkish 
Foreign  Secretary,  to  act  as  an 
international  observer. 

Ms  Clwyd.  a  human  rights 
campaigner,  has  had  close 
links  with  Turkey  for  more 
than  a  decade  and  felt  she 
could  not  turn  down  such  an 
opportunity. 

Mr  Cousins,  in  sharp  con¬ 
trast,  accepted  Mr  Blairs  deci¬ 
sion  and  admitted  that  he 
would  have  done  foe  same 
himself,  and  he  advised  Ms 
Clwyd  to  stop  complaining. 

“  I  don't  think  she  has  been 
unfairly  treated  —  1  don’t 
think  I  have  been  unfairly 
treated.”  he  said.  “I  am  not 
whingeing  about  it  and  I 
strongly  recommend  that  Ann 
doesn't  whinge  either.”  he 
added. 

He  is  said  to  have  agreed  to 
go  with  her  because  ms  brief 
covers  the  Middle  East,  but  he 
is  privately  angry  that  the  trip 
turned  out  to  be  little  more 
than  a  propaganda  exercise. 

The  Chief  Whip  was  alerted 
to  their  trip  only  on  Monday 
morning  last  week,  although 
Ms  Clwyd  insisted  shfc  had  lot 
a  message  on  the  answering 
machine  of  Don  Dixon,  foe 
deputy  chief  whip.  on.  Sunday 
before  she  departed. 

She  also  said  that  she  had 
told  the  office  of  Robin  Cook, 
the  Shadow  Foreign  Secre¬ 
tary.  about  the  trip  on  the 
previous  Friday. 

Mr  Foster  contacted  both

nationality  but  also  because 
foe  Government  does  noi 
believe  in  interfering  where 
someone  has  broken  foe  laws

The  Prime  Minister  also 
emphasised  America's  right  to

serious  crimes  in  a  draft  reply 
to  the  Labour  MP  Anne 
Campbell,  in  whose  Cam¬ 
bridge  constituency  Ingram 
was  bom.  Mr  Major  wrote: 
There  are  no  special  grounds 
for  a  plea  because  foe  death 
penalty  is  permitted  in  certain 
circumstances  under  interna¬ 
tional  human  rights  law.  Mr 
Ingram  was  convicted  of  a

when  they  were  cm  the  Iraqi

be  sacked  unless  they  returned 
on  the  next  available  flight. 

He  then  reserved  two  places 
on  an  aircraft  returning  from 
Ankara  on  Wednesday  night 
but  the  MPs  failed  to  take 
them.  Ms  Clwyd  maintains 


that  she  and  Mr  Cousins 
never  knew  about  tfte  seats. 
But  their  failure  to  return  on 
Wednesday  was  said  to  be  foe 
last  straw. 

Mr  Blair's  tough  approach 
shows  his  determination  to 
instil  discipline  into  his 
frontbench  team. 

The  whips'  office  has  also 


been  trying  to  ensure  a  tOO  per 
cent  turnout  for  recent  votes, 
to  highlight  foe  Government’s 
small  majority. 

Both  Ms  Clwyd  and  Mr 
Cousins  are  expected  to  be

ed  to  foe  whips'  office  last

Church  is 
criticised 
for  £S00m 
losses 

By  Arthur  Leathley 

A  Commons  report  into  the 
Church  of  England's  £800 
mfllian  losses  is  set  to  trigger  a 
shake-up  of  the  links  between 
church  and  state. 

Heavy  losses  on.  property 
deals,  most  notably  in  an  £80 
million  development  now 
worth  .  £3  million,  will  be 
dismissed  as  extremely,  "fool¬ 
ish"  by  MPs  later  this  month. 
The  Commons  report  will 
conclude  that  foe  Church 
Commissioners  came  as  “dose 
as  any  exempt  charity  could  to 
breaking  foe  law”  and  will 
demand  changes  in  foe. way. 
the  church  controls  its  funds. 

The  Commissioners,  who 
administer  assets  wbrth  £2.4 
billion,  may  also  be  forced  to 
cede  control  of  dergy  pensions 
worth  some  £1  billion. 

.  Members  of  foe’  Commons 
Soda!  Security  Select  Commit¬ 
tee  will  call  for  improvements 
in  the  Church’s  actuarial  pro¬ 
cedures  and  publish  a  list  of 
criticisms  of  die  Commission¬ 
ers'  investment  strategy,  its 
“cosy”  relationship  with  spe¬ 
cialist  financial  advisers  bt>H 
its  failure  to  publish  griggnau* 
accounts. 

MPs  are  anxious  to  press  for  , 
change  to  prevent  a  repetition 
of  foe  investments  made  by 
the  Church  during  foe. 1980s. 

The  report,  to  be  published 
after  foe  Easter  holidays,  will 
call  on  Michael  Howard,  foe 
Home  Secretary,  to  back  legis¬ 
lation  that  will  give  MPs 
greater .  power  over  setting 
new  pensions  rules,  possibly 
by  this  summer,  and  for  new 
laws  on  the  relationship  be¬ 
tween  Parliament,  the  Com¬

M25  to  be 
widened 
to  carry 
12  lanes 
of  traffic 

By  Jonathan  Prynn 
and  Alice  Thompson 

THE  busiest  two-mile  section 
of  the  M 25  is  to  be  turned  into 
the  country's  first  12-lane  mo¬ 
torway.  the  Transport  Secre¬ 
tary  said  yesterday. 

Controversial  proposals  to 
build  link-roads  ako^side  foie 
M2S  in  Surrey  to  create  a  14- 
Jane  super-highway  had  been 
shelved,  Brian  Mawhinney 
told  the  Commons.  The  deci¬ 
sion  was  condemned  by  the 
roads  lobby  and  environmen¬ 
tal  groups. 

Under  the  new  proposals, 
foe  .most  heavily  congested 
stretch  of  foe  London  orbital 
motorway  trill  be  widened  to 
at  least  five  lanes  in  each 
direction  between  junctions  12 
and  16  to  the  west  of  the 
capital  Only  between  junction 
14,  the  interchange  with  the 
M4.  and  junction  15  will  foie 
carriageway  be  widened  to  six 
lanes.  Dr  Mawhinney  said  die 
£75  million  widening  scheme, 
combined  with  the  introduc-. 
tioa  of  new  traffic  manager 
merit  technology,  was  capable 
of  handling  foe  projected 
growth  in  traffic  on  the  M25 
for  die  next  15  years. 

Michael  Meacher,  the 
Shadow  Transport  Secretary, 
said  the  Government  had 
been  imped  into  "a  monumen¬ 
tal  U-turn  on  a  scheme  which 
should  never  have  been  envis¬ 
aged”.  The  proposed  road 
lanes  were  “very  expensive 
and  will  rapidly  fill  up  with 
traffic”,  he  said. 

.  Local  anti-roads  campaign¬ 
ers  pledged  to  continue  the 
fight  against  foie  proposals. 
Roger  Higman,  transport 
campaigner  for  Friends  of  foe 
Earth,  said:  This  announce¬ 
ment  paves  the  way  for  part  of 
the  M25  to  be  turned  into  a  12- 
lane  superhighway.  That  is 
simply  unacceptable.” 

The  derision  also  met  a 
furious  reaction  from  the 
roads  lobby.  The  AA  said  it 
was  “a  stake  through  the  heart 
of  the  economy”.. 

The  Government  was  forced 
into  action  oyer  the  M25by  the 
volume  of  traffic  using  ft  for 
access  to  Heathrow  and 
Gatwick  airports.  Dr 
Mawhinney  said  he  was  set¬ 
ting  up  a  cross-departmtet 
group  ..of  officials  diairedviy 
Steve  Norris,  foie  Minister  for 
Transport  in  London,  to  ex¬ 
plore  developing  better  road 
and  rail  links  with  the  air¬ 
ports.  This  could  include  rail¬ 
way  stations  with  check-in 
facilities  next  to  motorways 
leading  into  foe  capital.  '

MARTIN  GILBERT,  the

Washington,  is  a  one-man

Winston  ChurduBL  which 
took  three  decades  to  com¬ 
plete.  Even  if  that  magnum 
opus  were  to  be  disregarded. 
Gilbert.  58,  could  be  vievwd 
as  one  of  the  leading  histori¬ 
ans  of  his  generation. 

A  precocious  undergradu¬ 
ate.  Gilbert  owed  much  to 
AJ.P.  Taylor's  tutorials  at 
Magadaien  College.  Oxford, 
in  the  1950s.  After  national 
service,  be  became  a  fdkm  of 
Merton  College  in  1962  and 
has  remained  one  since.  Al¬ 
though  he  has  held  many  vis¬ 
iting  chairs,  he  has  never 
beta  primarily  an  academic 
historian,  preferring  to  work 
from  home  in  Oxford  or 
north  London.  In  1963  he 
published  his  first  (much 
acclaimed)  book.  The  Ap¬ 
peasers,  written  jointly  with 
Richard  Gotti  later  of  The 
Guardian. 

At  about  tins  time,'  Gilbert 
became  one  of  several  re*

cial  btograpity  of  his  father 
was  proceeding  slowly.  Gtt- 
bert  Mis  delightful  anecdotes 
about  Bus  period,  such  as  the 
occasion  when  Jonathan  Ait¬ 
ken  —  then  an  Oxford  under¬ 
graduate.  now  Chief  Secre¬ 
tary  to  the  Treasury —  was 
put  forward  by  Randolph  to 
be  a  Tory  candidate  after  a 
local  MP  died,  with  the

ordered  to  canvass  for  him.  It 
turned  out  foal  Aitken  was 
too  young  to  rit  as  an  MP; 
instead  be.  became  private 
secretary  to  Sdwyn  UoyxL 

After  Randolph  amrehUTs 
premature  death,  Gilbert  was 
appointed  official  biogra¬ 
pher  of  Winston  Churchill  in 
1968.  In  that  year  he  pub¬ 
lished  volume  three  of  the 
fife,  die  first  to  be  entirety  his 
work  Gilbert  maintained  an 
Olympian  neutrality  towards 
his  snbjecti  but  his  deep 
sympathy  was  evident  from 
the  first. 

He  quickened  foe  pace  of  a 
project  that  was  in  danger  of 

grinding  to  a  haft,  but  it  took 


until  1988  —  by  which  time  be 
had  published  another  five 
volumes,  together  with  doz¬ 
ens  of  companion  volumes  of 
documents — before  the  ma& 
magisterial  biography  of 
modem  times  was  complete. 
Since  then,  he  .has  written  a. 
short  one-volume  fife  of 
Churchill  and  rebutted  at¬ 
tempts  by  revisionist  bistofc 
arts  to  undermine  Churchills 
reputation. 

Meanwhile.  Gilbert  had 
published  several  impressive 
works  of  scholarship  quite

Doctor  accuses 
midwives  of 
wrecking  career 


By  a  Staff  Reporter 


Mudiame  Giwa-Osagie  is  suing  two  midwives  who  alleged  sexual  harassment 


THE  career  of  a  Nigerian 
gynaecologist  was  “ship¬ 
wrecked  on  the  rocks  by  the 
spile  and  malice"  of  ruo 
midwives  who  faisciy  accused 
him  of  sexual  harassment,  foe 
High  Court  was  told 
jiesterday. 

Mudiame  Giwa-Osagie.  41. 
who  was  training  in  obstetrics 
and  gynaecology,  blames  a 
conspiracy  of  racial  prejudice 
for  being  dumped  from  his  job 
because  of  the  “lies”  of  foe  two 
women.  Ronald  Thwai  te*. 
QC.  for  Dr  Giwa-Osngie.  said 
the  doctor  denied  any  miscon¬ 
duct  and  was  seektog  dam¬ 
ages  for  h'bel  or  slander  from 
Sally  Hall  and  Sharron 
Smithson,  and  from  Doncas¬ 
ter  Health  Authority,  which 
suspended  him  from  his  job  as 
an  acting  registrar  at  Doncas¬ 
ter  Roval  Infirman  in  Decem¬ 
ber  1990. 

Mr  Thwaites  said  that  Dr 
Giwa-Osagie.  of  Waltham¬ 
stow.  east  London,  was  an 
innocent  man  who  had  been 
"terribly  wronged  by  these 
women".  He  had  been  unable 
to  complete  his  training  or  get 
a  job  as  a  doctor  because  the 
entire  medical  world  had 
closed  him  out.  his  counsel 
said. 

“We  say  he  has  been 
shipwrecked  on  the  rocks  of. 
spile  and  malice."  Mr 
Thwaites  added  that  Dr  Giwa- 
Osagie?  only  crime  was  that 
"his  face,  his  black  face,  no 
longer  fined". 

In  December  1990.  Mrs 
Hall  daimed.  first  verbally 
then  in  a  written  statement. 


that  Dr  Giwa-Osagie  got  into 
a  lift  with  her  when  she  was  on 
night  shift  and  asked  if  she 
was  pregnant.  She  alleged  he 
rubbed  her  stomach  ana  then 
moved  his  hand  down  to  heT 

groin. 

Dr  Giwa-Osagie  denied 
brine  in  the  lift  with  Mrs  Hall, 
but  "admitted  that  he  did 
remark  on  her  size  and  patted 
her  stomach  to  offer  con¬ 
gratulations. 

He  look  both  Mrs  Hall  and 
foe  hospital  authorities  to  an 
industrial  tribunal  on  foe 
ground  of  racial  discrimina¬ 
tion  after  he  was  suspended. 
The  claim  against  Mr?  Hall, 
of  Doncaster,  was  dismissed. 
But  in  September  1992  foe 
hospital  was  ordered  by  the 
Sheffield  Tribunal  to  pay  Dr 
Giwa-Osagie  £7.500  damages. 

In  January  1991  foe  second 
midwife.  Miss  Smithson,  com¬ 
plained  that  Dr  Giwa-Osagie 
had  told  her  she  was  so  small 
he  could  fit  her  in  his  pocket. 
She  claimed  he  took  her  hand 
and  rubbed  it  up  and  down  his 
back  pocket.  Dr  Giwa-Osagie 
claims  this  allegation  is  “mali¬ 
cious  fiction" 

Mr  Thwaites  told  Mr  Jus¬ 
tice  Drake  that  the  sexual 
harassment  allegations,  had 
triggered  a  conspiracy  against 
his  client.  He  told  the  court 
that  the  health  authority  had 
now  trawled  the  country  for 
“tittle  tattle"  from  previous 
staff,  and  produced  supposed 
evidence  of  incidents  where 
Dr  Grwa-Osagie  had  sexually 
harassed  other  women.

Critics  brush  off  actor’s  ‘cerebrally  challenged’  verbal  attack  at  Olivier  awards  ceremony

mm  medals  for  having  Said  what

on  Sunday  were  putting  on  a  brave 

lace  and  brushing  off  the. 
comments. 

_  How  anyone  could  have  used  a 
four-letter  expletive  to  describe  one 
cntic  and  another  “barkm*  bloody 
mad^^was  the  taiking^point  of  the 
theatre -world  yesterday.  After  bot- 
ffing  up  years  of  anger,  actors  saw 
it  as  tiie  critics  -getting  a  taste  of 
their  own  medicine. 

As  one.  said:  "Those  critics  have 
really  wounded  so  many  people. 
Pot  years  they  have  been,  evilly 
cruel." 

Susan  Hampshire  said:  "I  didn't 
hear  anyone  complaining  about 
what  he  said.  What  a  brave  and 
extraordinary  thing- to  do.  His 
livelihood  is  woiidng  in  theatre  and 
TV,  yet  here  he  was  laying  himself 
on  the  line  and  saying  what  he  feh, 
perhaps  jeopardising  his  liveli- 
hood.  It  was  dangerous^  You  had  to 
admire  his  panache.  All  our  liveli¬ 
hoods  are  in  the  bands  of  these 


Tony  Slattery,  left,  was  loudly  applauded  by  the  actresses  Susan  Hampshire  and  Sheila  Gish  for  his  robust  abuse  of  critics  including  Nicholas  de  Jongh 


critics." 'She  said  that  critics  were 
extremely  sensitive.  "If  they  ever 
have  some  criticism  they  always 
have  a  letter  published  the  next 
day."  She  said,  however,  that  the 
four-tetter  word  that  had  “everyone 
foiling  out  of  their  chair”  at  the 
ceremony  was  over  the  top. 

Sheifo  Gish  applauded  Slattery's 
performance:  "I  loro  Tony  Slattery. 


I’ve  seldom  laughed  so  much.  He 
certainly  got  a  kn  of  sympathy.  I 
think  every  actor  feds  helpless  in 
the  teeth  of  critics.  You  can  never 
answer  back,  should  you  want  to. 
So  when  someone  does  h  for  you 
...”  She  said  they  “dutched  each 
other  and  screamed"  as  Slattery 
spoke.  She  lamented  the  absence  of 
a  critic  such  as  Kenneth  Tynan. 


Some  of  today's  critics  "sometimes 
write  as  if  something’s  the  God- 
given  truth  rather  than  their  opin¬ 
ion.  As  an  actor,  you  hare  to  be 
terribly  sanguine  about  them." 

Slattery  was  unrepentant:  “I  was 
joking,  to  get  a  laugh  straight 
away.  But  I  believe  everything  I 
said."  He  spoke  of  his  distaste  for 
critics  who  leave  before  the  end  of  a 


play.  Nicholas  de  Jongh.  of  the 
Evening  Standard,  whom  Slattery 
described  with  the  four-lenerword. 
said:  “I’ve  no  objection  to  Tony 
Slattery  trying  to  slag  me  off.  The 
critics  dish  it  out.  so  if  actors  want 
to  say  something  . . .  But  it  was  a 
link  cerebrally'  challenged.  IVe 
never  even  spoken  to  him.  I’m  not 
hurt,  not  even  remotely.  He’s 


perhaps  exceptionally  sensitive.  I 
donl  remember  my  review  of  his 
performance  in  Radio  Times  being 
extreme,  or  Neville's  Island 
“1  look  on  these  things  neutrally. 
Berkoff  once  threatened  to  kill  me 
ten  years  ago  face  to  face.  That 
didn’t  affect  my  view  of  Berkoff. 
Now  l*m  very  good  friends.  It’s  a 
difficult  job  being  an  actor.  You 


need  nerves  of  steel.  It’s  a  precari¬ 
ous  fife.  Some  of  them  get 
emotional.” 

Maureen  Paton,  of  the  Daily 
Express,  whom  Slattery  said  was 
more  likely  to  be  found  in  a  pub 
than  the  theatre,  said  she  had  never 
met  him  before  that  night. 

*1  made  a  point  of  introducing 
myself  afterwards,’  she  said.  "We 
got  on  very  well.  I  think  he  just 
plucked  names  at  random.  He 
didn’t  seem  to  be  embarrassed.  He 
seemed  to  have  forgotten  what  he 
had  said.  So  1  was  happy  to  forget 
if  Recalling  reviews  of  Slattery's 
work,  she  said  her  review  of  Radio 
Times  noted:  “I  grieve  for  the 
actors."  Slattery  was  the  lead  actor 

in  spile  of  her  surprise,  she 
insisted  that  the  comments  would 
not  colour  her  next  review.  "You'd 
be  quickly  found  out  if  you  made  it 
a  personal  vendena."  she  said. 

Peter  Hepple,  consultant  editor 
of  The  Stage  and  secretary  of  the 
Critics'  Circle,  said  that  the  attack 
on  Paton  was  quite  slanderous,  and 
those  on  the  other  critics  were 
“jokes  in  bad  taste  —  a  startling 
way  to  stan  off  the  c\ening,  even 
though  they  got  a  big  laugh."  But. 
he  added:  “1  cant  imagine  the 
Critics’  Circle  making  official  rep¬ 
resentations.  That  is  almost  be¬ 
neath  us."

counsellor  to 


with  stress 


By  Kate  Aloerson 


AN  INNER-CITY  school  has 
appointed  a  counsellor  to  help 
pupils,  some  as  young  as  11. 
cope  with  -  stress.  -  and 
depression- 

Pupils  at  Stretford  High 
School.  Manchester,  wifi  be 
offered  counselling  an  subjects 
ranging  from  .  bullying  and 
drugs  to  fondly  problems  and 
overwork  in  what  is  befieved 
to  be  the  first  full-time  pro¬ 
gramme  in  the  country. 
Teadters  at  themixed  Compre¬ 
hensive  school  have  long  dealt 
with  -pupils’  problems  but 
determined  there:  wasa  grow-  - 
ing  need  tor  professional  - 

heatSmistress  of  fbeTOO-pupir 
school,  said  that  toadiers  did  . 
not  necessarily  kave  the  spe1 
cdalist .  skflls  to  .  deal '  with 
children’s  problems,-  which,, 
they  may  not  fully  under¬ 
stand. 

•  "Pupils  are  not  just  suffer¬ 
ing  from  the  stress  erf  complet¬ 
ing  coursework  and  exams 
while  in  the  classroom."  Mrs 
Atkinson  said.  .  “They,  may 
suffer  bullying  in  the  play¬ 
ground,  taimts  from  their  peer 
group-  Outside  school  they 
nay  find  themselves  caught 
up  in  the  drug  culture,  which 
affects,  schoolchildren  every¬ 
where,  and  may  also  have 
severe  problems  at  home  With 
their  families."- 
The  early  derisions  dial 
children  must  make  about 
their  careers  and  jobs,  the 
competitive  workplace  and  the 
pressure  to  succeed,  had  all 
conspired  to  increase  anxiety 
levels,  she  said.  “Teachers  and 
other  -professionals'  have  be¬ 
gun  to  recognise  that  the 
problems  facing  children  in 
and  out  of  school  have  to  be 


confronted  and  dealt  with," 
she  added. 

-  ‘Pupils’  families  and  teach¬ 
ers  will  be  encouraged  to  use 
the  counselling  service,  which 
is  free  and  wffl  cost  the  school 
£16.000  a  year.  Many  otter 
schools  had  asked  if  they  could 
use  die  counsellor's  services 
on  a  part-time  basis,  the 
headmistress  said. 

The  schools  plans  were 
announced  a  week  after  the 
Melody  Maker  pop  music 
paper  dtsdosed  that  it  was 
mandated  with  letters  from 
depressed  teenagers:  The  let¬ 
ters  appear  prompted  by  the 
loss  of  Kurt  Cobain  of  the 
group  Nimna, who  foot  ten- 
self  last  year,  and.  Richey 
James  of  the  Manic  Street 
Preachers,  who  has  disap¬ 
peared.  In  letters  to  die  paper, 
many  young  readers  have 
spoken  of  their  problems  with 
anorexia  and  depression,  setf- 
mutilation  or  feelings  of  self- 
loathing.  Editorial  staff  were 
so  overwhelmed  with  such 
letters  that  they  have  been 
putting  readers  in  touch  with 
the  Samaritans. 

Mrs.  Atkinson  said-  ter 
school’s  counselling  pro¬ 
gramme  h?d  not  been  estab¬ 
lished  in  response  to  rtmfcal 
depression  but  to  deal  with  the 
general  stress  of  daily  life. 

Richard  Ptilframan.  region¬ 
al  secretary  for  the  National 
Union',  .of  Teachers  in  the 
North  West  said  that  the  ; 
union  would  monitor  the  sue-  I 
cess  of  the  scheme.;  “While  1 
there  are  no  hard .  and  fast,

Pay-by-the-day  plan  to  raise  £20m  for  civil  courts 


>  &  -Uv; 


Lord  Mackay:  hearing  fee 


PEOPLE  using  the  civil  courts 
will  face  huge  fee  rises  in  the  next 
few  months  to  raise  an  extra  £20 
million  towards  running  the 
courts  service  including  the  cost 
of  the  judges.  The  financial  target, 
to  be  raised  by  a  new  “pay  by  the 
day"  or  hearing  fee  instead  of  the 
present  oneoff  fee  for  issuing 
proceedings,  was  announced  at 
the  launch  of  the  courts  in 
England  and  Wales  as  an  execu¬ 
tive  agency  yesterday. 

New  fee  levels,  which  could  be 
as  much  os  £500  a  day  for  die 
High  Court  and  £200  a  day  in  the 
county  court  will  probably  be 
announced  next  month  when 
Lord  Woolf,  the  law  lord,  publish¬ 
es  his  report  into  civil  justice. 

The  higher  fees  are  part  of  the 
Government's  policy  to  make  the 
civil  courts  self- fin  anting  and  to 
reduce  the  costs  that  fall  on  the 


■  The  Law  Society  fears  that  proposals  to 
make  the  civil  courts  self-financing,  by 
replacing  the  one-off  fee,  may  adversely  affect 
access  to  justice.  Frances  Gibb  reports 


taxpayer.  At  the  same  time,  the 
number  of  judges  in  the  civil 
courts  are  expected  to  rise  by  76 
from  1993-94  to  1997-98.  The 
number  of  High  Court  judges  will 
remain  at  95  but  the  number  of 
circuit  judges  will  increase  from 
509  to  545  and  district  judges  from 
289  to  329. 

Yesterday  Lord  Mackay  of 
Clashfem  the  Lord  Chancellor, 
said  he  was  keen  to  “introduce  a 
daily  hearing  fee  where  courts  are 
being  used  for  long  trial  periods” 
However,  he  dismissed  sugges¬ 
tions  that  the  courts  were  being 


run  as  a  business.  There  was  “no 
question  whatever”  of  that.  Lord 
Mackay  said. 

He  said  that  the  policy  of 
recovering  the  costs  of  the  civil 
courts  from  litigants  had  “long 
been  the  policy  of  successive 
governments”  and  he  believed  it 
right  in  principle.  Lord  Mackay 
added  that  where  there  was  a 
subsidy  of  the  courts  system  by 
the  taxpayer,  it  was  nght  this 
should  be  identified  so  that  tax¬ 
payers  could  consider  “whether 
that  is  a  reasonable  subsidy  for 
them  to  bear"  and  whether  it  is 


"wise  and  necessary."  The  new  fee 
charges  will  tie  in  closely  with 
Lord  Woolfs  proposals  for  speed¬ 
ing  up  civil  justice,  including'  a 
fast-track  system  for  simpler  cases 
where  there  is  a  cap  on  the 
amount  of  legal  costs  the  parties 
can  recover. 

In  particular,  there  are  likety  to. 
be  scales  of  fees  for  court  actions, 
with  companies  and  large  corpo¬ 
rate  court  users  being  charged 
more  than  individual  litigants: 
and  longer  cases,  which  run  to 
more  than  a  set  period  of  time 
incurring  much  bigger  hearing 
fees  than  short  cases. 

Yesterday  Michael  Huebner, 
chief  executive  of  the  new  agency, 
which  is  called  the  Court  Service, 
said  that  no  decisions  had  been 
taken  about  the  level  of  fees 
although  this  coming  financial 
year  the  target  was  to  recover  75 


per  cent  of  the  costs  of  running  the 
courts.  The  agency’s  budget  for 
1995-96  is  £627  million. 

Mr  Huebner  said  it  was  a 
question  of  getting  the  nght 
balance  so  that  people  were  not  - 
deterred  from  using  the  courts. 
The  aim  was' to  move  towards., 
recovering  tile  full  cods  of  therivil 

courts,  including  the  judges,  from 

fees  charged  to  litigants.  This 
financial  year  the  target  was  to 
raise  £20  million  but  that  would 
still  leave  a  £30  million  to  £40 
million  shortfall,  which  is  subsi¬ 
dised  by  the  taxpayer. 

Mr  Huebner  said  that  apart 
from  moving  to  “full  costs  recov¬ 
ery”  in  the  dvfl  courts,  the  other 
challenge  was  to  improve  stan¬ 
dards  In  the  courts  service. 

The  Uw  Society  yesterday  said 
that  economy  was  the  driving 
force  behind  the  agenda  of  the 


Court  Service  and  that  Treasury 
requirements  might  “take  priority 

over  access  M.  and  quafity  at 
justice",  it  welcomed  the  aims  of 
improving  standards  to  the  public 
and  cutting  waiting  times  .for 
hearings  and  trials. 

The  society  said  that  this  year 
court  fees  would  cover  75  per  cent 

of  costs  compared  with  60  percent 

last  year.  Staff  would  also  be  cut 
by  10  per  cent  over  two  years. 

Philip  Sycamore,  chairman  of 
thecivfl  litigation  committee,  said: 
“If  the  effect  of  the  agency  is  to 
make  the  court  service  more 
efficient  and  businesslike,  that  isa 
good  tiling.  I  remain  concerned 
that  the  pressure  to  be  sdf- 
financing  through  increased  court 
fees  may  adversely  affect  access  to 
justice."  •

Oriana’s  owners  lament  decline  of  a  great  tradition  as  German-built  liner  arrives 


Pride  of  the 
fleet  thumbs 
her  nose  at 
Britain’s 
shipyards

ORIANA 


Four  deck  atrium 


AS  P&O's  .sleek  new  cruise 
liner  Oriana  glided  into 
Southampton  yesterday,  she 
seemed  almost  to  be  thumbing 
her  nose  at  Britain’s  rusty 
shipyards.  A  military  band 
struck  up  “Rule,  Britannia!": 
given  the  German-built  ship's 
breathtaking  statistics,  a  mel¬ 
ody  based  on  Vorsprung 
durch  Technik  might  have 
been  more  suitable. 

“Of  course  we  have  regrets 
that  it's  not  British-built,” 
sighed  Lord  Sterling  of 
Pfaistow.  the  chairman  of 
P&O.  "Nothing  would  have 
given  me  and  this  company 
greater  pleasure  than  to  have 


mwa 

Commodore  Ian  Gibb 


taken  delivery  of  this  ship 
from  Scotland  or  Tyneside. 
But  I  am  afraid  the  capability 
of  building  ships  of  this  kind 
went  out  here  20  years  ago." 

The  new  flagship  of  the 
British  passenger  fleet  comes 
bedecked  with  superlatives. 
With  a  gross  tonnage  of  69.000 
tons,  the  Oriana  just  exceeds 
in  size  the  QE2.  at  65.S63  tons, 
and  so  becomes  Britain's  larg¬ 
est  passenger  ship. 

She  may  not  be  the  largest 
ship  to  fly  the  Red  Duster  (the 
old  Queen  Elizabeth  was  that) 
or  the  fastest  cruise  liner  (she 
is  left  behind  by  the  QE2  and 
the  Canberra)  but  she  leaves 
nothing  in  the  imagination. 
She  cost  £200  million,  and 
with  a  cruising  speed  of  25 
knots,  is  the  fastest  liner  built 
in  the  past  25 years.  P&O  says. 

She  is  powered  by  four 
diesel  engines  developing  a 
total  of  78,000  brake  horse¬ 
power.  driving  two  huge  nick¬ 
el  aluminium  bronze  propel¬ 
lers.  each  19ft  in  diameter.  The 
engines  consume  about  S8.9 
gallons  of  fuel  an  hour. 

”  About  15,000  tons  of  steel 
were  used  in  her  construction. 
She  is  853ft  long,  106ft  wide 
and  has  a  draft  of  26ft.  She  has 
two  underwater  stabilisers, 
like  submerged  aircraft  wings, 
which  are  21  square  feet  in 
area,  the  largest  fined  to  a 
cruise  ship. 

She  will  cany  up  to  1.975 
passengers  on  ten  passenger

Patient’s  sex  is  no  barrier  against 
seduction  on  the  therapist’s  couch 


By  Jeremy  Lalrance,  health  services  correspondent 


THE  stereotype  of  a  middle- 
aged  male  therapist  seducing 
his  young  female  patients  is 
misleading,  psychologists  re¬ 
ported  yesterday. 

One  in  25  therapists  admirs 
to  having  had  a  sexual  rela¬ 
tionship  with  a  patient  but  a 
third  of  the  therapists  are 
women.  Professional  organ¬ 
isations  forbid  such  relation¬ 
ships  and  therapists  who 
transgress  face  beins  struck 
off. 

Results  from  a  national 
survey  of  >81  clinical  psycholo¬ 
gists  who  returned  an  anony¬ 
mous  questionnaire  found 
that  20  confessed  to  having 
been  sexually  involved  with 
their  clients,  five  with  clients  of 


their  own  sex  Eight  therapists 
said  they  had  had  only  a  single 
sexual  encounter  with  the 
client,  but  four  had  continued 
the  relationship  for  more  than 
five  years  and  some  had 
married. 

However,  in  two  thirds  of 
the  cases  sexual  involvement 
began  only  after  the  patient 
had  been  discharged  by  the 
therapist.  In  some  cases  the 
therapists  discharged  patients 
so  they  cuuld  be  free  io  have 
sex  with  them. 

Tanya  Garrett,  clinical  psy¬ 
chologist  at  Walsall  Commun¬ 
ity  Health  Trust,  who 
presented  the  results  to  the 
conference,  said:  “In  the 
overwhelming  majority  of 


cases  it  is  very  damaging  to 
(he  patients  and  has  led  to 
suicides. 

“Being  in  a  position  of 
power  a  therapist  can  influ¬ 
ence  a  person  to  do  things  they 
might  not  otherwise  do'.  They 
are  the  ones  with  all  the 
knowledge  about  the  patient's 
difficulties.  They  are  exploit¬ 
ing  a  position  of  trust.” 

Miss  Garrett  said:  “Psy¬ 
chologists  need  training  in 
how  to  deal  with  cases  where 
patients  are  sexually  attracted 
to  them  or  vice  versa.  If  a 
patient  makes  advances  the 
therapist  should  not  act  on 
them  but  should  discuss  them 
within  the  context  of  the  pro¬ 
fessional  relationship."  Last 


year  there  were  100  allega¬ 
tions  of  sexual  impropriety 
against  therapists,  according 
to  the  British  Psychological 
Society. 

Since  1989.  i8  therapists 
have  faced  disciplinary  char¬ 
ges  relating  to  having  had  sex 
with  patients.  Seven  of  those 
accused  were  struck  off  and 
five  had  other  action  taken 
against  them.  Two  cases  were 
unproven  and  four  are  still 
under  investigation. 

In  some  states  in  America, 
professional  rules  forbid  ther¬ 
apists  from  ever  entering  rela¬ 
tionships  with  a  former 
patient,  but  others  insist  on 
there  being  a  cooling-off  per¬ 
iod  of  two  vears. 


Parent  power  leads  to  expulsions 


By  Jeremy  Lal  rance 

DEMANDS  from  parents  for  tighter 
discipline  in  schools  have  led  to  a  sharp 
increase  in  ihe  number  of  pupils  expelled. 

Up  to  10.000  difficult  children  a  year 
are  ejected  as  schools  polish  their  images 
to  attract  pupils.  A  study  of  105  schools  in 
Essex  shows  the  number  of  pupils 
permanently  excluded  doubled  between 
1992-93  and”  1993-94  from  111  to  213. 

Despite  the  rise,  there  was  no  evidence 
that  children  had  become  more  disrup¬ 
tive.  Andre  lmich,  education  psychologist 
with  Essex  education  authority,  said  the 
reason  for  the  increase  was  parental 
pressure.  "It  is  a  stressful  time  for  schools. 
They  are  under  pressure  to  attract 


children  -  customers  —  and  demonstrat¬ 
ing  that  they  have  a  strong  disciplinary’ 
system  can  lie  a  powerful  attraction  for 
parent*.-  he  said. 

The  results,  presented  to  the  annual 
conference  ol  the  British  Psychological 
Society  at  the  University’  of  Warwick, 
show  children  have  a  I  in  500  chance  of 
being  expelled.  Provisional  figures  for 
Essex  showed  a  further  40  per  cent  rise  in 
expulsions  since  Education  Department 
guidelines  intended  to  reverse  the  trend 
look  effect. 

The  expelled  children  were  nor  evenly 
distributed  across  all  105  schools.  One 
quarter  of  the  schools  were  responsible 
for  three  quarters  of  the  expulsions.  Two 
thirds  of  the  children  were  excluded  for 


being  constantly  disruptive  or  displaying 
unacceptable  behaviour. 

A  school's  tendency  to  exclude  pupils 
was  not  related  to  social  deprivation  but  it 
was  connected  to  the  way  the  school  dealt 
with  problem  children."  Schools  with  a 
strong  pastoral  system  in  which  teachers 
were  involved  in  managing  disruptive 
behaviour  excluded  fewer  pupils  than 
those  in  which  the  problems  were  passed 
up  to  the  head  teacher. 

Mr  lmich  said  expulsion  meant  broken 
friendships,  lower  self-esteem  and  poorer 
educational  performance.  When  the  pu¬ 
pils  go  to  a  new  school  they  are  regarded 
as  naughty  children  whom  the  others  look 
to  for  trouble,  establishing  a  cycle  of 
disruptive  behaviour,  he  said.

Accidents 
on  roads 
cost  £8bn 
a  year 

By  Jonathan  Pkynn 

ROAD  accidents  cost  the 
British  taxpayer  more  than 
£8  billion  a  year,  enough  to 
build  the  Channel  Tunnel 
rail  link  three  times  over  or 
fund  50  by-passes,  according 
to  RAC  figures. 

The  total  which  includes 
the  cost  of  emergency  service 
call-outs,  hospital  and  health 
care  for  victims  and  damage 
to  roads,  exceeds  the  entire 
£6  billion  annual  budget  of 
the  Department  of  Trans¬ 
port  It  is  also  six  times 
bigger  than  the  Govern¬ 
ment's  E13>  billion  roads 
programme. 

If  the  annual  £5  billion 
insurance  bill  for  accident 
repairs  is  also  taken  into 
account  the  figure  rises  to 
more  than  £13  billion  or 
about  2  per  cent  of  the  gross 
national  product 
While  road  deaths  fell  last  ; 
year  to  a  69-year  low  of  3.651. 
the  total  number  of  injuries 
through  accidents  has  been 
rising  steadily,  particularly 
for  pedestrians,  cyclists  and 
children.  Hie  total  number  of 
people  injured  on  the  roads 
was  316.709. 

The  highest  accident  rate  is 
in  Greater  London,  with  5.S 
Injuries  for  every  1,000 
people.  The  lowest*  is  Mid 
Glamorgan  with  just  under 
three  per  1,000. 

The  RAC  survey  also  found 
that  more  than  70  per  cent  of 
drivers  have  had  an  accident 
while  behind  the  wheel. 


with  86.546  pieces  of  Wedg¬ 
wood  china.  On  a  typical  14- 
day  cruise,  passengers  and 
crew  will  eat  about  1162550 
mam  meals.  On  die  shopping 
list  will  be  14.4  ms  of  meat, 
3.6  tons  of  fish,  28  tons  of  fresh 
fruit  and  vegetables.  1.9  tons  of 
sugar,  and  2.775  gallons  of 
milk  and  cream. 

Passengers  will  be  able  to 
drink  their  way  through  2,600 


bottles  of  wine,  1,200  bottles  of 
gin,  rum  and  vodka,  33.000 
bottles  and  cans  of  beer.  400 
bottles  of  cognac  and  1,600 
bottles  of  whisky. 

The  most  expensive  cruise  is 
a  deluxe  round-the-  world 
voyage  in  90  days  for  £35-280, 
the  cheapest  £575  for  nine 
nights  in  Norway  in  May.

Carey  calls  for 
revival  of  moral 
responsibility 

By  Ruth  Gledhill,  religion  correspondent  - 


PEOPLE  must  be  held  respon¬ 
sible  for  their  actions  and  their 
wrongdoings  should  be  pun¬ 
ished.  the  Archbishop  of  Can¬ 
terbury'  says  today. 

Dr  George  Carey,  appeal¬ 
ing  for  society  to  embrace  "the 
biblical  concept  of  justice", 
says  the  trend  towards  a  more 
lawless,  amoral  society  can  be 
reversed,  but  “with  God’s 
help".  He  giv  es  a  warning  that 
secularisation  will  result  in 
more  lawlessness,  in  a  "jungle 
of  moral  relativism",  and  says 
his  most  important  task  is  to 
bring  people  back  to  a  faith  in 
a  loving  God. 

Dr  Carey,  writing  in  April's 
Policing  Today,  the  official 
journal  of  the  Association  of 
Chief  Police  Officers  of  Eng¬ 
land.  Wales  and  Northern 
Ireland,  says  that  it  becomes 
clear  that  “civilisation  itself  is 
under  threat"  once  confidence 
in  the  trustworthiness  of  those 
who  maintain  law  and  order 
disappears.  He  says  parents 
need  more  encouragement  to 
make  moral  discipline  part  of 
their  children's  framework  of 
growing  up. 

Dr  Carey,  the  first  clergy¬ 
man  to  contribute  io  Policing 
Today,  says:  “If  we  lose  the 
trust  of  those  whom  we  serve, 
our  authority  is  grievously 
undermined.  This  1  realise 
applies  as  much  to  the  Church 
as  to  any  other  institution.” 
Speaking  generally,  the  Arch¬ 
bishop  continues:  “When  a 
clergyman  falls  to  live  up  to 
the  standards  of  his  ordina¬ 


tion.  the  whole  Church  is 
damaged.  This  also  applies  to 
the  police  service.” 

Dr  Carey  says  that  a  good 
society  will  encourage  every¬ 
one  to  do  what  is  good  and 
right.  He  says:  “People  must 
be  held  responsible  for  their 
actions. 

“Wrongdoing  needs  to  be 
named,  acknowledged,  appro¬ 
priately  punished  and  atoned 
for.  not  swept  under  the  carpet 
and  forgotten.  That  is  part  of 
the  biblical  concept  of  justice.  ■ 
Mercy  may  temper  it  but  not 
replace  it” 

He  says  the  police  and 
Church  attempt  to  do  their 
work  in  the  face  of  increasing 
criticism  and  scepticism. 
"Both  police  and  clergy  are 
often  left  to  pick  up  the  pieces 
caused  by  wider  social  failures 
—  and  are  both  often  blamed 
for  them." 

To  build  a  responsible  soci¬ 
ety.  there  had  to  be  individual 
moral  responsibility,  but  in¬ 
justice  and  abuses  of  power  in 
society  also  had  to  be  eliminat¬ 
ed,  Unking  crime  io  social 
deprivation  and  poverty, 
the  Archbishop  argues  that 
every  policeman  knows  the 
truth  of  the  saying:  The  devil 
finds  work  for  idle  hands  to 
do." 

Dr  Carey  says:  “The  way  in 
which  a  block  of  flats,  for 
exapple.  is  designed  can 
make  ,  a  big  difference- to  the 
amount  of  vandalism,  mug¬ 
ging  and  other  crimes  likely  to 
take  place  there.” 


Cantona 
signs  on 
to  serve 
sentence 

Eric  Cantona,  the  ManchesteA 
United  footballer,  visited  a 
Manchester  probation  office 
yesterday  to  sign  up  for  his  120 
hours  of  community  service 
and  be  assessed  bri  how  he 
will  spend  his  sentence.  One 
Manchester  project  leader 
said  she  had  already  been 
approached  about  harnessing 
Cantona's  talents.:  Caroline 
Lead  son.  who  runs  14  football 
teams  involving  500  children 
from  deprived ’  areas,  said: 
“We  would  welcome  his  atten¬ 
dance:”  Last  week  Cantona 
won  his  appeal  at  Croydon 
Crown  COurt  against  a  two- 
week  prison  sentence  for  as¬ 
saulting  a  spectator. 

Blandford  bailed; 

The  Marquess  of  Blandford 
was  remanded  on  bail  into  the 
care  of  a  private  clinic  after  he 
appeared  in  court  charged 
with  forging  prescriptions, 
stealing  Class  C  drugs  and 
failing  to  pay  a  taxi  fare.  The 
Marquess,  39,  of  Chelsea,  who . 
gave  his  occupation  as  a 
former,  will  appear  again 
before  Horse  ferry  Road  mag¬ 
istrates  next  Monday. . 

Bread  rises  ^ 

Britain’s  two  biggest  bread 
manufacturers  have  increased 
their  recommended  prices  for 
die  first  time  in  three  years., 
raising  the  cost  of  a  mass- 
produced  loaf  by  up  to  4p  to 
between  75p  and  79p.  How¬ 
ever.  Allied  Bakeries  and  Brit¬ 
ish  Bakeries  conceded  that  till 
prices  were  a  matter  for  retail-  - 
ers.  Some  big  stores  sell  bread 
for  as  little  as  19p. 

Lamppost  check 

Two  thousand  lampposts  in 
Gateshead,  Tyne  and  Wear, 
are  being  checked  after  one 
crushed  to  death  a  39-year-old 
motorist  in  his  van  and 
another  narrowly  missed  mo-  ■ 
torway  traffic  after  falling 
from  a  bridge  over  the  AJ(M] . 
at  Dunston.  Council  officials 
are  examining  possible  corro¬ 
sion  of  the  metal  lampposts  by 
road  salt. 

Victims  of  chance 

A  cluster  of  malformed  babies 
bom  over  a  four-month  period 
last  year  were  victims  of 
chance,  not  chemical  contami¬ 
nation.  a  report  says.  Ewe 
babies  were  bom  in  Grimsfy  _ 
with  deformed  or  missiSg 
limbs.  Some  parents  bfaraed  • 
dioxins  from  British  Steel’s 
plant  in  Scunthoipe,  30  miles 
away,  but  the  report  discounts  ' 
the  theory. 

Tennis  racket 

The  promoters  of  the  Wimbles  ; 
don  tennis  tournament  issued 
a  warning  to  companies  to 
beware  of  invalid  corporate 
tickets.  Any  holder  of  a  ticket 
sold  by  an  unauthorised  trad¬ 
er  would  be  refused  entry,  the 
club  said.  In  past  years -com- 
parties. have  spent  thousands 
of  pounds  on  invalid  tickets 
bought  on  the  black  market  .

mu  Baby  girl’s 
r  abductor 
: r  still  awaits 
ler  treatment 


JULIE  KELLEY,  the  woman 
who  abducted  a  newborn 
babv  from  a  Nottingham  hos¬ 
pital  last  year,  has  received  no 
psychiatric  treatment  despite 
it  being  a  condition  of  her 
ihree-year  probationary  sen¬ 
tence  (Richard  Ford  writes). 

Julie  Kelley.  22,  who 
snatched  four-hour-old  Abbte 
Humphries  from  Queen's 
Medical  Centre  while  dressed 
as  a  nurse,  has  not  been 
created  since  being  sentoiced 
by  Nottingham  Crown  Court 
m  December  because  of  the 
birth  of  her  own  baby  in  the 
new  year  and  a  delay  in 
finding  a  hospital  bed.  She  is 
due  to  enter  a  psychiatric 
hospital  this  month  for  a 

year's  treatment. 

’  Michael  Morris,  her  solio-

her  treatment  should  start 
He  said  administrative  diffi¬ 
culties.  including  the  funding 
of  her  treatment  and  the 
availability  of  a  bed,  had 
added  to  the  delay.

THE  TIMES  TUESDAY  APRIL -4 1995 


Panorama  interview  reveals  Prime  Minister’s  growing  scepticism 


Britain’s  independence 
conies  first,  says  Major 


By  Nicholas  Wood,  chief  political  correspondent 


THE  Government  would  re¬ 
ject  a  single  currency  if  it 
threatened  Britain's  standing 
as  an  independent  nation 
state.  John  Major  said  last 
night,  signalling  his  deepen¬ 
ing  scepticism  about  economic 
and  monetary  union. 

“If  I  had  to  choose  ...  If  I 
thought  it  would  damage  the 
nation  state  I  would  choose  the 
nation  state.  That  is  the 
position  of  the  Conservative 
Party . . . 

“1  f  anything  were  to  damage 
the  nation  state,  it  would  not 
be  for  this  country.  We  would 
not  do  anything  that  would 
damage  the  nation  state." 

The  Prime  Ministers  com¬ 
ments  came  in  his  BBC  Pan¬ 
orama  interview  as  he  was 
pressed  by  David  Dimbleby  to 
say  whether  he  agreed  with 
Kenneth  Clarke,  the  Chancel¬ 
lor.  that  a  single  currency 
would  not  lead  to  political 
union.  Sidestepping  the  direct 
question.  Mr  Major  defended 
his  decision  to  keep  open  the 


option  of  Britain  joining  a 
single  currency  towards  the 
end  of  the  century.  He  said 
that  h  was  impossible  to  know 
what  the  circumstances  might 
be  around  1999  —  the  earliest 
practical  starting  date. 

The  critical  question  of 
whether  a  single  currency 
would  destroy  Britain  as  a 
nation  state  hinged  on  what 
control  the  country  would 
have  over  iL  “How  is  the 
single  currency  going  to  be 
controlled?  What  is  the  input 
of  the  British  Parliament?  To 
what  extent  is  money  policy 
going  to  be  held  abroad? 
There  are  a  whole  range  of 
questions.  As  yet  we  don’t 
have  the  answer  to  those 
questions,  so  one  can  form  a 
judgment  cm  suppositions,  but 
we  don’t  know  the  answers  yet 

"No  one  has  ever  said  that 
we  can  give  a  guarantee  there 
will  never  be  a  single  currency 
...  We  have  said  we  will  look 
at  what  is  in  the  British 


national  interest,  if  and  when 
the  circumstance  arises,  and 
we  will  make  a  judgment  then 
and.  at  that  stage,  we  will  also 
consider  whether  it  might  be 
appropriate  to  have  a 
referendum." 


CXECAITi^PAY: 


Mr  Major  said  that  people 
had  been  against  the  windfall 
gains  received  by  the  directors 
of  privatised  utilities.  “Now 
that’s  happened  —  the  horse 
has  got  out  of  that  particular 
stable.  But  I  think  we  need  to 
look  at  it  for  the  future." 

He  went  on:  “It  is  the 
business  of  the  shareholders 
and  what  I  think  well  may 
happen b  at  the  end  of  the  day 
us  thgat  we  will  actually  look 
at  shareholders’  powers.  1 
think  that  may  well  be  one  of 
the  things  that  comes  out  of 
the  Greenbury  Committee.” 
The  till  that  the  directors  had 
helped  themselves  out  of  was 
the  shareholders’  till.  It  would 


not  make  a  halfpenny  of 
difference  to  the  public.  He 
made  plain  that  the  Govern¬ 
ment  would  learn  from  what 
had  happened  in  the  utilities 
as  it  proceeded  with  rail 
privatisation. 


Mr  Major  said  the  growth 
of  the  last  year  produced  a 
“feel-good"  factor  for  the 
600,000  unemployed  who 
found  jobs.  “What  has  not 
happened  yet  is  that  people 
are  not  feeling  the  fruits  of 
growth  back  in  their  incomes." 

Nothing,  he  said,  would  do 
more  good  for  the  “feel-good" 
factor  than  Britain  beginning 
to  outperform  many  of  its 
rivals.  Putting  Britain  in  a 
position  to  compete  and  win 
up  to  the  millennium  and 
beyond  had  some  uncomfort¬ 
able  sideeffiects  . . .  The  old 
“feel-good"  factor  was  based 
on  lots  more  money  in  people's 
pockets,  often  more  than  was 


John  Major  In  bis  television  interview  with  Jonathan  Dimbleby  last  night 


tor  the  economy,  and 
prices  soaring  way 
above  the  rate  of  inflation. 
“Those  things  often  did  create 
an  artiBcal  fed-good  factor  but 
it  was  often  the  prelude  to  one 
hell  of  a  hangover  the  next 
day."  The  next  time  it  would 
not  have  that  old  artificial 
feeling. 

Challenged  about  his  poor 


standing  in  the  opinion  polls, 
he  said:  “I  earned;  to  stay  here 
leading  the  Conservative  Par¬ 
ty  right  up  .to  tbe  election  and 
through  the  election  and  I 
expect  that  we  will  win  that 
election." 

He  said  that  the  present 
growth  was  "not  just  a  casual 
recovery"  and  that  his  eco¬ 
nomic  policies  were  designed

American 

workfare 

under 

scrutiny 

By  Arthur  Deathley 

POLITICAL  CORRESPONDENT 

A  COMMONS  investigation 
of  American  workfare  -  next 
week  is  likely  to  inflame  the 
debate  over  prospects  for  a 
similar  scheme  in  Britain. 

A  team  of  MPS  will  travel  to 
America  next  weekend  to 
study  the  effects  of  workfare, 
in  which  unemployed  people 
have  to  work  for  state  benefits. 
Right-wing  ministers  are  keen 
to  adopt  the  idea. 

The  visit  to  New  York, 
Washington  and  New  Jersey 
by  tiie  Cfomriu^  Employment 
Select  Committee  is  expected 
to  lead!  id  a- showdown  be¬ 
tween  the  MPS  and  Michael 
Portillo,  the  Employment  Sec¬ 
retary,  who  is  a  leading  sup- 
poter  of  workfare.  •  v  b  -:e.  - 
'"However,  Labour  commit¬ 
tee  members  believe  that  pilot 
schemes  being  considered  by 
Mr  Portillo  and  Peter  Lflley, 
the  Social  Security  Secretory, 
are  very  different  from  those 
run  in  America.  They  fear  that 
the  planned  British  version 
would  be  a  negative  system 
without  tiie  job  guarantees 
made  in  America. 

The  Il-strong  committee,  led 
by  Greville  Janner.  its  Labour 
chairman,  will  visit  schemes 
in  New  Jersey  and  will  meet 
leading  welfare  experts  and 
politicians  in  Washington. 

Mr  LUky  is  understood  to 
be  keen  to  extend  tire  trial 
schemes  operated  in  Norfolk. 
When  he  gave  evidence  to  the 
committee  in  January,  how¬ 
ever.  he  was  reluctant  to  spell 
out  his  plans  and  warned  MPs 
that  the  costs  of  a  national 
progamme  might  be  prohibi¬ 
tive.  Pilot  schemes  in  areas  in 
selected  areas  of  unemploy¬ 
ment  are  another  option. 

Mr  Portillo,  who  is  expected 
to  be  directly  responsible,  will 
be  pressed  to  outline  his 
proposals  when  he  gives  evi¬ 
dence  to  the  committee,  probar 
bly  next  month. 


MPs  told 
of  MoD 
‘sting’ 
theory 

By  Nigel  Williamson, 

WHITEHALL  CORRESPONDENT 

GORDON  FOXLEY,  the  for¬ 
mer  Ministry  of  Defence 
official  convicted  of  a 
£13  million  fraud,  was  prob¬ 
ably  involved  in  a  “sting” 
from  which  the  companies 
dial  bribed  him  received 
no  benefit,  MPs  were  told 
yesterday. 

Foxley  was  convicted  in 
1993  on  12  counts  of  receiving1, 
corrupt  payments  from  face 
companies:.  Gebruder  Jwsg- 
hans  of  Germany,  Fraidti 
Borlciti  of  Italy  and  Rmfes 
of  Norway.  ,  . 

Bat  Dr  Maloom  McIntosh, 
chief  of  procurement  in  the 
MoD,  fold  tiie  PubticfcAc- 
counts  Committee  that  mere 
was  no  evidence  that  Foxley 
had  been  able  fat  influence 
contracts  in  tiie  companies' 
favour.  Foxley  vyas  probably 
involved  “In  one.  of  the  big:1 
gest  stings  we  have  seen  in 
some  time”,  be  said. 

As  a  result  of  the  Foxley 
case,  and  190  other  cases  of 
alleged  procurement  fraud 
over  the  past  ten  years,  many 
MoD  officials'  had  been 
moved  to  other  duties.  Ibedb 
included  most  officials  with, 
power,  and  influence  .over 
contracts  who  had  hdd  tile 
same  job  for  more  than  five 
years. 

Dr  McIntosh  admitted  that 
tiie  Foxley  fraud  should  have 
ben  detected  earlier.  It-but 
been  known  at  an  early  stage 
that  Foxley  was  living  wdf 
beyond  me  galaxy  of  an? 
official  at  his  level,  but  fittie; 
suspicion  was  aroused* 
because  his  wife  was  thought, 
to  have  independent  means!'  . 

MoD  officials  were  stiff 
pursuing  tire  Case  but  had 
been  unable  to  gain  access  to 
some  of  the  Swiss  bank 
accounts  that  Foxley  used.  Dr 
McIntosh  said  that  the  true. : 
extent  of  the  fraud  nriftit 
never  be  known. 


Ministers  praised 
for  pools  boost 

By  Alice  Thomson,  political  reporter 

to  grounds,  and  the  Founda¬ 
tion  for  Sport  and  the  Arts. 

Hilary  Armstrong  (Lab, 
Durham  North  West) warned 
ministers  that  the  pools  com¬ 
panies  might  come  under 
threat  again.  “1  hope  that  the 
Government  will  beep  a  very 
dose  eye  on  this.  The  British 
public  will  be  horrified  if  the 
lottery  company  makes  such 
excessive  profits  while  chari¬ 
ties  are  seen  to  be  jailing 
because  of  the  activities  of  the 
lottery." 

Lady  Olga  Maitland  (C. 
Sutton  and  Cheam)  said  that 
giving  the  money  back  to  tbe 
pools  companies  was  like 
throwing  a  lifebelt  to  a  drown¬ 
ing  man.  This  move  has  new 
given  them  a  chance  to  re¬ 
group,  replan  and  hopefully 
move  into  more  fortunate 
times." 


THE  Government's  belated 
decision  to  cut  pods  betting 
duty  was  welcomed  in  the 
Commons  last  night  as  a 
critical  boost  for  an  industry 
hit  badly  by  the  National 
Lottery. 

From  next  month  pools 
companies  will  have  their  tax 
cut  from  37.5  per  cent  to  32-5 
per  cent  —  worth  about  £30 
ration  in  1995-%.  The 
changes  have  been  made  in 
the  Finance  Bill,  which  enacts

David  Heathcoar-Amory. 
the  Paymaster  General,  said 
that  he  had  been  lobbied 
extensively  by  the  pods  com¬ 
panies,  which  were  flounder¬ 
ing  because  of  the  new 
competition.  The  cuts  would 
enable  them  to  continue  con¬ 
tributing  to  tiie  Football  Trust 
which  supports  improvements

Secret  KGB  letters 
‘solve’  the  riddle 
of  Hitler’s  bones 


THE  riddle  of  Hitler’s  bones, 
for  years  the  source  of  morbid 
fascination,  appears  to  have 
been  solved  by  the  discovery  of 
secret  correspondence  be¬ 
tween  Yuri  Andropov,  the 
late  KGB  chief,  and  Leonid 
Brezhnev. 

According  to  Der  Spiegel. 
the  remains  of  Hitler,  his 
mistress  Eva  Braun,  his  pro¬ 
paganda  chief  Joseph  Goeb- 
bels  and  the  Goebbels  family, 
were  taken  from  the  Nazi 
leadership's  Berlin  bunker 
and  buried  in  Magdeburg.  In 
the  spring  of  1970.  Andropov, 
apparently  afraid  that  the 
bones  might  one  day  be  an 
object  of  neo-Nazi  pilgrimage, 
ordered  that  the  old  ammuni¬ 
tion  boxes  containing  the  re¬ 
mains  be  taken  to  a  Soviet 
tank  and  artillery  training 
ground.  There  they  were 
burnt 

The  reason  for  the  move  was 
that  the  original  burial  place 
was  about  to  be  handed  over 
to  the  East  Germans.  Andro¬ 
pov's  handwritten  notes  sug¬ 
gest  that  the  KGB  chairman 
(and  later  Soviet  leader)  was 
deeply  nervous  about  Ger¬ 
many.  Ostpolitik  and  the  new 
intimacy  between  East  and 
West  German  leaders. 

Willy  BrandL  then  Chancel- 


From  Roger  Bores  rrv  bonn 

lor  of  West  Germany,  had 
recently  visited  Erfurt  and 
was  greeted  by  cheers  and 
loud  applause  from  East  Ger¬ 
mans.  Restless  Germans  and 
the  sudden  discovery  of  Hit¬ 
ler's  body  could  have  added 
up  to  an  unpredictable  mix¬ 
ture  in  the  view  of  Andropov 

and  of  Vladimir  Kryuchkov, 
his  head  of  Cabinet  who  was 
later  to  emerge  as  one  of  the 
plotters  against  Mikhail 
Gorbachev. 

Brezhnev  agreed  that  Hit¬ 
ler's  body  should  be  destroyed. 
In  the  middle  of  the  night  of 
April  4.  1970.  Soviet  soldiers 
erected  a  tent  over  the  un¬ 
marked  grave  and  five  KGB 
*  officers  dug  up  the  boxes.  The 
five  decaying  improvised  cof¬ 
fins  were  driven  away  and 
burnt.  The  Der  Spiegel  story 
is  well-supported  by  docu¬ 
ments  and  by  the  evidence  of 
Mr  Kryuchkov,  who  is  now  a 
pensioner  living  in  Moscow. 

There  was  always  a  hint  of 
mystery  about  Hitler's  last 
resting-place,  if  only  because  it 
was  dear  that  Stalin  did  not 
quite  believe  in  the  death  of  the 
Nazi  leader.  The  Russians  had 
liberated  the  Berlin  bunker 
and  had  captured  the  most 
useful  witnesses,  including 
Johann  Rartenhuver.  Hitler's 


bodyguard,  SS  adjutant  Otto 
Gunsche,  Hans  Baur,  his 
pilot,  and  Katarina  Heuser- 
mann.  a  dental  assistant 

In  an  effort  to  give  Stalin  a 
definitive  verdict  on  Hitters 
death,  they  were  interrogated 
for  almost  a  year.  James 
O'Donnell,  author  of  The  Ber¬ 
lin  Bunker,  witnessed  the 
return  to  Berlin  of  these  and 
other  witnesses  in  the  summer 
of  1946.  By  Stalin's  order  all 
Ihe  members  of  the  Hitler 
entourage  in  Soviet  captivity 
were  forced  to  re-enact  the  last 
hours  of  Hitler's  life.  The 
performance  was  filmed. 

Later  all  the  German  cap¬ 
tives  were  flown  back  to  the 
Soviet  Union  and  sent  to 
different  labour  camps.  The 
Western  allies  also  had  wit¬ 
nesses  from  the  last  days  in 
the  bunker,  but  their  story, 
although  convincingly  pieced 
together  by  Hugh  Trevor- 
Roper.  was  incomplete.  Der 
Spiegel  says  it  has  found  the 
last  piece  of  the  jigsaw. 

Half  a  century  on,  German 
neo-Nazis  are  planning  to 
disrupt  the  fiftieth  anniversa¬ 
ry  commemoration  of  the  end 
of  the  Second  World  War  and

Le  Pen  emerges  as  wild  card 
in  French  presidential  race 


From  Charles  Bremner  in  paris 


THE  FRENCH  presidential 
campaign  has  offered  a  big 
dose  of  the  unexpected,  with 
three  front-runners  succeed¬ 
ing  to  the  favourite's  crown 
since  last  autumn.  A  further 
surprise  has  now  emerged 
further  down  the  field:  the 
revival  of  Jean-Marie  Le  Fen, 
the  veteran  candidate  of  the 
far  right  and  leader  of  the 
National  Front  party. 

Dismissed  until  lately  as  a 
ghost  from  an  ugly  past  M  Le 
Fen.  is  harvesting  support  for 
his  anti-foreigner  platform 
that  could  take  him  over  the 
143  per  cent  which  he  earned 
in  his  second  run  for  the 
presidency  in  1988.  "This  time 
we  could  even  break  through 
to  20  per  cent”  an  optimistic 
M  Le  Fan  told  The  Times  as  he 
consented  to  be  questioned  by 
a  British  newspaper  on 
French  televison.  With  his 
famous  mix  of  blue-eyed 
charm  and  physical  menace, 
M  Le  Pen  noted  that  foreign 
correspondents  would  be  ex¬ 
empted  from  his  plan  to  pitch 
three  million  non-French  out 
of  the  country  in  the  interests 
of  preserving  Gallic  jobs  and 
racial  purity. 

At  66  and  after  four  decades 
on  the  unsavoury  side  of 
French  politics,  the  pugna¬ 
cious  M  Le  Fen  is  revelling  in 
his  status  as  a  candidate  with 
clout  whose  favour  will  count 
especially  in  the  event  of  a 
showdown  in  the  second 
round  run-off  between  the 
duelling  GauJLists  Jacques 
Chirac  and  Edouard  Ball- 
adur.  the  Prime  Minister.  For 
the  moment,  however,  M  Le 
Pen  will  have  none  of  either, 
nor  of  Lionel  Jospin,  the 
Socialist,  as  he  tours  the 
country  railing  at  the  estab¬ 
lishment  clique  which  he  says 
is  leading  France  to  destruc¬ 
tion  from  abroad  and  from 
within  through  corruption 
and  the  spread  of  Aids.  This 


is  just  a  contest  between  a 
bunch  of  Enanjues ,"  said  M 
Le  Fm.  referring  to  the  first 
French  race  monopolised  by 
graduates  of  the  Ecole 

Nationale  de  r Administra¬ 
tion,  the  nursery  of  the  techno¬ 
crat  elite.  “They  all  hail  from 
the  bureaucracy  they  spend 
their  time  denouncing  while 
France  is  going  to  the  dogs." 

M  Le  Fen.  whose  party 
scored  ll  per  cent  in  the 
European  elections  last  year 
after  peaking  in  the  mid-1980s, 
owes  his  new  wind  to  a 
coincidence  of  factors.  He  is 
benefiting  from  disillusion¬ 


ment  with  all  the  mainstream 
candidates  and  anxiety  among 
shopkeepers,  artisans  and  the 
unemployed  young  in  the  face 
of  France's  social  crisis.  He 
has  been  helped  by  the  exclu¬ 
sion  of  Bernard  -Tapie.  the 
populist  tycoon,  now  bank¬ 
rupt.  who  appeals  to  a  similar 
public,  especially  in  the  south. 
He  is  also  being  helped  by  new 
rules  which  force  the  television 
networks  that  long  ostracised 
him.  to  give  him  air  tune  in 
proportion  to  his  supporL 
AJso  helping  him  is  a 
mellowing  of  the  public  perso¬ 
na.  No  longer  the  fire-breath- 


Edouard  Balladur.  the  French  Prime  Minister,  is 
welcomed  to  an  “overseas  festival”  in  Paris 


trig  provocateur  surrounded 
by  bully-boys,  M  Le  Fen.  a 
former  paratroop  officer,  has 
polished  his  powerful  ora  tort 
skills,  casting  himself  as  a 
common  man  who  voices 
ideas  that  are  normally  only 
heard  in  the  comer  bistro.  “At 
least  I  have  lived  a  real  life." 
he  said,  referring  to  his  origins 
as  the  son  of  a  Breton  trawler- 
man  killed  in  the  war.  The 
others  say  they  have  suffered 
when  they  have  spent  the  day 
on  the  ski  slopes  and  done 
without  lunch." 

If  M  Le  Fen  has  failed  to 
shed  his  sulphurous  image 
and  win  the  respectability 
accorded  in  Italy  to  Gian¬ 
franco  Flni  and  his  National 
Alliance,  it  is  because  his 
message  still  remains  one  of 
raw  xenophobia.  Preaching  a 
nostalgic  gospel  with  echoes  of 
the  anti-Semitism  of  the  1930s. 
he  blames  foreigners  for  tak¬ 
ing  French  jobs  and  for  crime. 
Aids  and  drug  abuse.  He 
promises  to  expel  three  million 
immigrants  and  instate  a  “nat¬ 
ional  preference”  which  wUI 
give  employment  to  those  of 
French  blood.  “The  subject  is 
taboo  for  the  other  candi¬ 
dates."  he  tells  cheering 
crowds.  “It's  politically  incor¬ 
rect  so  they  rush  ahead  into  a 
vague  idea  of  Europe  and  the 
wiping  out  of  France  without 
knowing  what  is  going  to 
replace  it" 

M  Le  Pen's  efforts  to  rival 
tire  front-runners  have  been 
doited  by  his  reaction  to  the 
shooting 'of  a  schoolboy  from 
the  Comoros  islands  by  Nat¬ 
ional  Front  campaign  workers 
near  Marseilles.  Refusing  to 
condemn  their  act  on  Sunday, 
he  told  a  crowd  of 4.000  at  Aix- 
en-Provence  that  at  least  it  had 
alerted  France  to  the  feet  that 
there  were  125,000  Comorans 
now  in  the  country.

Italian  doctors  ban  ‘granny-mum’  births 


From  John  Phillips 

IN  ROME 

ITALIAN  doctors  who  enable 
post-menopausal  women  to 
undergo  artifical  pregandes 
may  be  struck  off  under  a  new 
mde  of  ethics  introduced  by 
Italy's  Order  of  Doctors  yes¬ 
terday  in  a  response  to  the 
Pope’s  latest  encyclical 
The  code  also  bans  rent-a- 
Aomb  births,  artifical  procre¬ 
ation  for  lesbians  and 
ns  emi  nation  with  sperm  from 
a  dead  donor.  The  Italian 
Catholic  Bishops'  Conference 


said  yesterday  that  it  was 
pleased  with  the  derision  tak¬ 
en  by  the  national  council  of 
the  Order  of  Doctors  meeting 
in  Florence.  It  came  after  the 
publication  by  the  Vatican  last 
week  of  the  encyclical 
Evangelium  Vitae  (The  Gos¬ 
pel  of  Life)  in  which  the  Pope 
said  mankind  was  in  the 
middle  of  a  dramatic  dash 
between  “the  culture  of  death 
and  the  culture  of  life"  and 
reiterated  Church  leaching 
against  genetic  engineering 
and  test-tube  babies.  The 
move,  which  was  welcomed 


by  politicians  across  the  spec¬ 
trum.  outraged  Severino 
Antinori.  the  Italian  doctor 
who  has  pioneered  techniques 
of  artificially  induced  preg¬ 
nancy  for  elderly  women,  in¬ 
cluding  some  who  have  come 
from  Britain  to  benefit  From 
Italy's  legislative  vacuum  on 
many  controversial  bio-ethical 
issues. 

Dr  Antinori  said,  “l  will  go 
forward  all  the  same.  This  is  a 
Nazi -Maoist  edict" 

Under  the  derision  Italian 
doctors  will  face  disciplinary 
measures,  ultimately  includ¬ 


ing  being  struck  off,  if  they 
participate  in  “practices  of 
assisted  fertilisation  for 
women  in  n  on-precocious 
menopause". 

The  age  of  50  is  set  as  an 
average  limit  to  artificial  preg¬ 
nancies  of  this  kind,  to  avoid 
creating  more  mamme-nonne 
(granny-mums)  such  as 
Uliana  Cantadori.  who  be¬ 
came  the  first  woman  in  Italy 
to  give  birth  at  61.  Last  year  a 
63-year-old  woman  treated  by 
Dr  Antinori,  Rosanna  Della 
Corte.  gave  birth  to  a  son, 
Riccardo. 


Seles  knifed  in  the 
back  during  match 

Seles  fails 
to  get  her 
assailant 
jailed 

By  Our  Foreign  Staff 

MONICA  SELES,  die  tennis 
player,  failed  yesterday  in  her 
attempt  to  have  Gunther 
Parcfae  jailed  for  stabbing 
her  two  years  ago  when  an 
appeal  court  upheld  a  two- 
year  suspended  prison 
sentence. 

The  assailant  remains  free 
after  District  Judge  Gertrant 
Gfrermg  in  Hamburg  upheld 
the  sentence  passed  in  Octo¬ 
ber  1993  on  Parche,  unem¬ 
ployed,  who  knifed  Miss 
Seles  in  the  bade  during  a 
tfimrs  tournament  so  that  bis 
idol  the  German  tennis  play¬ 
er  Steffi  Graf,  could  be  No  1 
in  the  world.  Miss  Seles,  21, 
who  was  not  in  court,  has  not 
played  professional  tennis 
since  then.  T  am  as  surprised 
as  everyone  else,  and  I  just 
don’t  understand  tins."  she 
said  after  yesterday's  vcrdkL 

She  and  the  prosecutors 
had  appealed  against  Parch- 
e’s  conviction  on  a  charge  of 
serious  bodily  injury,  asking 
for  a  conviction  of  attempted 
manslaughter,  and  a  prison 
turn 

ofice  officers  and  psychia¬ 
trists  said  that  aside  from  his 
fixation  on  Miss  Graf  and 
Miss  Setes.  Parche  was 
harmless.  Rolf  Roscnkranz. 
the  prosecutor,  had  acknowl¬ 
edged  that  he  was  not  previ¬ 
ously  aggressive.  But  Herr 
Rosenkranz  said  that  Parche, 
40.  should  be  imprisoned 
because  be  had  carefully 
planned  the  attack,  because  it 
was  carried  out  in  public,  and 
was  in  part  based  on  political 
prejudice. 

Parche  had  spoken  of  his 
dislike  of  Serbs  and  claimed 
he  only  wanted  to  hurt  his 
victim.  Miss  Seles,  an  ethnic 
Hungarian,  was  born  in  the 
Serbian  area  of  Yugoslavia 
and  is  now  an  American 
citizen. 


UN  officer  wounded  in 
Serb  attack  on  ‘safe  area’ 


From  Joel  Brand  in  Sarajevo.

the  Bihac  "safe  area"  for  the 
fourth  consecutive  day  yester¬ 
day.  wounding  a  United  Na¬

Five  shells  landed  in  the  rily 
centre  yesterday  morning  and 
shrapnel  hit  an  unarmed 
Dutch  officer  in  the  head, 
wounding  him  slightly. 

The  area  was  hit  repeatedly 
during  the  weekend  and  three 
other  "safe  areas”  have  come 
under  Seri)  heavy  weapons' 
fire  in  the  past  two  weeks.  . 

UN  officials  believe  the  inci¬ 
dents  are  part  of  a  deliberate 
plan  to  step  up  pressure  an

ant-General  Rupert  Smith,  die  . 
commander  in  Bosnia-Herze- 
govina.  who  assumed  the  post 
at  the  end  of  January. 

General  Smith  has  respond¬ 
ed  by  repeatedly  calling  for  a 
meeting  with  General  Ratko 
Mladic,  the  Bosnian  Serb 
army  commander,  but  for . 


nearly  three  weeks  his  aides 
have  said  he  is  too  busy 
meet  his  UN  counterpart 

UN  spokesmen  .suggested 
that  Sunday’s  attack  on  the 
Bihac  "safe  area”  was  justified 
because  the  shells  fell  near  a 
police  station,  and  could  there¬ 
fore  be  considered  part  of  the 
combat  in  the  area.

Russians  develop 
torpedo  propelled 


By  Michael  Evans,  defence  correspondent 


THE  Russians  are  developing 
a  rocket-powered  torpedo, 
oodenamed  Shkval  (or  squall), 
which  can  travel  underwater 
at  3X)  knots  (226mpb).  sur¬ 
rounded  fay  a  vacuum  bag. 

Design  work  for  this  new 
concept  in  underwater  missile 
technology  is  being  carried  out 
at  the  Moscow  Sergo  Ordzho¬ 
nikidze  Aviation  Institute,  ac¬ 
cording  to  Jane’s  Intelligence 
Review  in  a  newsletter  to  be 
published  this  month. 

Under  the  normal  laws  of 
hydrodynamics,  it  would  be 
virtually  impossible  to  achieve 
such  velocity  because  of  the 
drag  of  the  seawater,  Robert 
Hall,  editor  of  the  Jane’s 
newsletter,  said  yesterday.  He 
said,  however,  that  the  hydro¬ 
aerospace  systems  depart¬ 
ment  of  the  institute  in 
Moscow  appeared  to  have 
overcome  the  problem  fay 
eliminating  the  torpedo’s 
"physical  contact  with  the 
water”. 

A  member  of  the  institute 
has  described  the  new  weapon 
as  an  "underwater  missile 
which  in  motion  is  in  a  so- 
called  vacuum  bag  that  is 
underwater  but  not  in  the 
water”.  Mr.  Hall  said  ft  was 
possible  that  the  vacuum  bag 


ought  be  a  low-pressure  gas 
envelope.  "One  method  might 
be  to  eject  streams  erf  high¬ 
speed  bubbles  from  the  haul 
of  the  torpedo,  although  this 
would  require  a  large 
pressurised  gas  cylinder  with¬ 
in  the  torpedo,"  he  said.  The 
West’s  latest  models  can  go  no 
fester  than  60  knots. 

The  Shkval  torpedo  was 
mentioned  in  the  latest  edition 
of  Military  Parade,  a  defence 
procurement  brochure.  There 
was  also  a  reference  on  Mos¬ 
cow  television  last  June  to  an 
underwater  missile  that  could 
travel  at  up  to  TOO  metres  a 
second". 

Richard  Sharpe,  editor  of 
Jane’s  Fighting  Ships,  doubt¬ 
ed  whether  the  torpedo  would 
become  operational.  He  said  ft 
would  go  through  the  water 
"like  a  banshee",  making  so 
much  noise  that  it  would  be 
relatively  easy  for  a  targeted 
ship  to  take  evasive  action. 

The  Russians  have  devel¬ 
oped  a  torpedo  that  guides 
itself  by  homing  in  on  the 
wake  of  a  surface  warship.  It 
approaches  its  target  by  zig¬ 
zagging  across  the  sea.  That 
torpedo  is  in  service  and  is 
believed  to  have  been  sold  to 
the  Iranians.

Farmer’s  field-day  on  Falklands  is  historic  mission 


A  DEER  Farmer,  a  property  develop¬ 
er,  a  hairdresser  and  a  hypnotist  are 
among  more  than  200  part-time 
soldiers  currently  responsible  for 
guarding  the  Falkland  Islands  (Mich¬ 
ael  Evans  writes). 

Eight-thousand  miles  away  from 
their  normal  jobs,  the  214  members  of 
a  Territorial  Army  infantry  company 
group  have  completed  the  first  month 
of  an  historic  four-month  mission.  It  is 
the  first  folly  operational  deployment 


of  a  TA  company.  Under  the  com¬ 
mand  of  Major  Adrian  Walton,  a  deer 
fanner  in  civilian  life.  dieTA  soldiers 
are  responsible  for  providing  the 
ground  defence  of  the  South  Atlantic 
islands  against  a  repeat  invasion  by 
Argentina. 

Although  the  Falklands’  garrison 
includes  soldiers  from  the  regular 
Army,  they  have  other  roles  such  as 
mine  clearance,  signals,  transport  and 
logistics.  It  is  the  first  time  that  the  TA 


and  not  a  regular  infantry  company, 
has  been  pot  in  charge  of  guarding  the 
Falkland  Islands. 

Major  Walton  said  yesterday  that 
the  presence  of  the  Territorials  in  the 
Falklands  did  not  mean  Britain  was 
"downplaying"  the  role  of  the  militaiy 
in  the  South  Atlantic  He  said:  "It  is 
important  that  the  islanders  don't  see 
it  as  a  down-valuing.  This  releases 
other  troops  for  tasks  like  Bosnia.  This

Baseball  season  is  saved 
but  loyalty  of  fans  falters 


From  Ben  Maciniyre  in  new  vork 


AMERICAN  baseball  has  re¬ 
turned  from  the  dead  after  foe 
longest,  most  expensive  and 
ugliest  strike  In  foe  history  of 
professional  sport 

On  Sunday  Major  League 
Baseball  Owners  accepted  the 
players*  offer  to  return  to 
work  after  a  strike  lasting  234 
days  and  announced  that  the 
season  would  start  24  days 
late,  on  April  26.  The  strike 
has  cost  an  estimated  $800 
ntillian  (£490  miffian),  but  the 
expense  in  terms  of  damaged 
public  enthusiasm  for  Ameri¬ 
ca’s  national  pastime  is 
incalculable. 

Flayers  such  as  Bobby 
Bonilla,  of  the  New  York 
Mets.  who  earned  an  estimat¬ 


ed  $63  million  before  foe 
strike,  can  begin  restoring 
their  fortunes,  as  can  the 
baseball  owners,  but  rebuild¬ 
ing  the  confidence  of  miflions 
of  enraged  fans  wffl  take  far 
longer. 

The  strike,  which  began  on 
August  12,  wiped  out  the 
baseball  World  Series  for  the 
first  time  in  90  years,  white 
fens  watched  in  disbelief  and 
increasing  fury  the  unappeal¬ 
ing  spectacle  erf  “a  few  hun¬ 
dred  folks  trying  to  figure  out 
how  to  divide  nearly  $2  bil¬ 
lion",  tn  the  words  of  Presi¬ 
dent  Clinton. 

For  fens  already  angered  by 
high  ticket  prices  and  the 
mnltimfflkairfionar  salaries 


doled  out  to  baseball  stars,  the 
greed  shown  by  both  sides 
during  foe  strike  was  the  last 
straw. 

The  strike  ended  when  the 
owners  accepted  an  offer  by 
the  players’  union  to  go  back: 
to  work  without  a  collective 
bargaining  agreement,  leav¬ 
ing  open  the  possibility  of 
another  strike  later  in  the 
season  if  foe  owners  fry  to 
impose  a  salary  cap  once 
again.  The  fragile  truce  rests 
largely  on  wishful  thinking.  “I 
think  there  is  an  unwritten 
commitment  by  both  sides 
that  the  1995  season  will  be 
played  uninterrupted,"  Refer 
Angelos,  majority  owner  of 
the  Baltimore  Orioles,  said. 


THE  village  men  carried  out 
the  dead  bodies  wrapped  in 
blankets.  They  unrolled  them 
gently  for  us  to  see.  One  child 
had  an  arm  crooked  as 
though  trying  to  protect  her 
face.  There  was  Mood  every¬ 
where.  The  oldest  must  have 
been  about  17,  the  youngest 
about  seven. 

The  whole  family  had  been 
asleep  in  the  village  of  Go  rum 
when  terrorists  smashed  a 
window  and  lobbed  through 
a  hand  grenade.  The  three 
girls  were  killed  instantly,  the 
baby's  cradle  smashed. 

Outside  all  was  apparently 
normal:  a  cockerel  perched  on 
a  dung  heap  and  hens  pecked 
away  in  foe  sun.  But  foe 
whole  village;  high  in  the 
rugged  mountains  on  the 
Turkish  side  of  the  border, 
was  in  a  state  of  shock.  It  was, 
the  inhabitants  said,  the  sec¬ 
ond  attack  by  foe  Kurdistan 
Workers'  Party  (PKK)  on  foe 
village  in  a  few  days.  They 
demanded  better  protection 
from  foe  Turkish  A/my. 

A  mile  up  foe  road  there 
were  hundreds  of  Turkish 
soldiers  and  tanks.  We  were 
foe  only  international  observ¬ 
ers  allowed  to  cross  the  border 
at  the  beginning  of  the  week, 
at  foe  invitation  of  Erdal 
Inonu,  foe  new  Social  Demo¬ 
crat  Foreign  Minister. 

Part  of  foe  problem  here  is 
that  Turkey's  own  policies 
towards  its  Kurdish  minority 
have  created  a  Kurdish  terror¬ 
ist  threat.  No  one  could  sup¬ 
port  foe  terrorist  atrocities, 
but  Turkey  has  denied  basic 
human  rights  to  moderate 
Kurds  in  Turkey,  and  this  in 
turn  has  created  a  breeding 
ground  for  Kurdish  terrorists. 
Turkey  has  lost  patience  with 
PKK  attacks  from  inside 
northern  Iraq,  and  two  weeks 
ago  Ankara  sent  35,000  troops 
tacked  by  jets,  trucks  and 
artiUexytodeara2ftai3e  strip 
along  the  border. 

We  met  one  of  the  captured 
PKK  soldiers  at  Silopi  camp. 
He  was  brought  to  us  blind¬ 
folded.  his  arm  in  a  sling.  He 
was  a  very  young  man.  and 
very  nervous.  He  told  us  foal 
he  had  come  from  Syria  to 
fight.  "All  Kurds  are  our 
brothers,"  he  whispered. 

We  spent  an  afternoon  with 
Turkish  soldiers  in  terrain 
that  reminded  me  of  Snowdo¬ 
nia.  The  battalion  command¬ 
er  showed  us  a  huge  cave  in 
the  rocks  which,  we  were  told, 
had  previously  housed  dozens 
of  -  guerrillas.  The  mifoary 
also  showed  us  weapons  cap¬ 
tured  from  foe  PKK. 

Many  Kurds  inside  north¬ 


ern  Iraq  have  a  quite  different 
focus  of  concern:  Baghdad. 
We  crossed  the  border  for  a 
journey  deep  inside  northern 
Iraq,  where  the  two  main 
Iraqi  Kurdish  parties,  the 
Patriotic  Union  of  Kurdistan 
(PUK)  and  foe  Kurdish  Dem¬ 
ocratic  Party  (KDP),  distance 
themselves  completely  from 
the  separatist  guerrillas, 
whom  they  liken  to  the  Shin¬ 
ing  Path  in  Peru. 

At  foe  headquarters  of 
Massoud  Barzani,  foe  leader 
of  the  KDP  in  Salhuddin,  the 
message  to  foe  Turks  was 
dear  "We  want  you  to  finish 
the  invasion  quickly  and  re¬ 
turn  home”  Unfortunately, 
the  Kurds  are  far  from  united, 
even  though  they  have  a 
common  enemy  in  President 
Saddam  Husain.  When  1 
asked  Mr  Barzani  about  con¬ 
tinuing  fighting  between  his 
own  party  and  that  of  foe

phone.  He  reported  that 
people  were  fleeing  from  their 
villages.  “We  need  help. 
Please  tell  the  world  we  need 
hdp.” 

The  lesson  is  that  while 
Western  sympathy  naturally 
goes  to  foe  Kurds  lacing 
Saddam’s  aggression  in 
nothem  Iraq,  the  problems  of 
the  Kurds  inside  Turkey  must 
be  addressed  so  that  foe 
causes  of  Kurdish  terrorism 
against  Ankara  are  erad¬ 
icated. 

□  Bonn:  Germany  sharply 
criticised  Turkey  for  its  inva¬ 
sion  of  northern  Iraq.  “We 
don’t  want  to  use  threats." 
said  Klaus  Kinkei,  Foreign 
Minister,  after  talks  with  Mr 
Inonu.  “But  of  course  there 
are  levers  available.”

ORGANISED  crime  is  threat¬ 
ening  China's  stability,  as  . 
Pdang^  contacts  with  the  rest 
of  the  world  spread,  according 
to  a  member  of  Italy’s  anti- 
Mafia  parliamentary 
mmmisskm. 

Speaking  in  Ptsking  yester¬ 
day,  Pino  Ariacchi  said  that 
conditions  for  an  indigenous 
•  mafia  were  in  place.  He 
emphasised  tbax  when  Hong 
Kong  rejoins  China  in  1997  the 
folks  between  foe  colony's 
secret  societies,  foe  Triads, 
and  their  counterparts  in  Ch5- 
na  will  become  even  stronger. 
The  Hong.  Kang  gangs  are 
believed  to  have  about 100,000 
members.' 

“To  fight  Triads,  winch  are 
foe  most  dangerous  form  of 
Chinese  organised  crime,  is 
difficult/  he  said,  “because  of 
foe  kind  of  natural  secrecy."  _ 

Organised  crime  is  so  seri¬ 
ous  foat  national  newspapers 
regularly  write  about  it.  it  is  a 
matter  of  concern  to  foe  coun¬ 
try’s  senior  leaders,  and  a 
book  on  foe  suWect  was  pub* 
fished  by  two  Shanghai  spe¬ 
cialists  last  September.  Su 
Zhfiiang  and  Chen  lifei  re¬ 


ferred  to  the  network  as  “foe 
cancer  of  the  cities”  and  com¬ 
pared  "these  evil  farces”  to  the 
Shanghai  underworld  before 
the  1949  Communist  takeover. 

The  China  Youth  Daify 
newspaper  said  smuggling 
indudes,  gold,  cultural  relics, 
firearms  and  cars  —  often 
stolen  to  order  as  far  away  as 
the  United  States. 


From  Associated  Press 

IN  TRENTON.  NEW  JERSEY 


Ariacchi-  worried  by 
influence  of  Triads 


SEVEN  months  ago,  a  group 
of  schoolchildren  lamenting 
the  end  of  their  summer 
holidays  put  notes  with  greet¬ 
ings  and  their  names  and 
addresses  into  a  plastic  bottle 
and  threw  it  into  die  Atlantic 
at  Cape  Hatteras,  North 
Carolina. 

They  returned  home  to  New 
Jersey  to  start  a  new  school 
year  and  forgot  about  the 
bottle.  However,  it  was  carried 
by  the  Gulf  Stream  towards 
Europe  —  and  was  found  by 
Marc  Gurun,  11.  at  He  de 
Houat.  off  the  coast  of  north¬ 
west  France. 

Last  month.  Jackie  Borzio. 
14.  received  a  postcard  in 
French  from  Mare  and  when 
her  grandmother  translated  it, 
she  remembered  Cape  Haiter- 
as.  “It’s  amazing,”  she  said.  “I 
was  totally  shocked." 

Brack  Owens  of  the  Woods 
Hole  Oceanographic  Institu¬ 
tion  in  Massachusetts,  said 
that  Cape  Hatteras  is  one  of 
the  few  places  where  the 
4,000-mile  Gulf  Stream  cur¬ 
rent  comes  within  a  few  yards 
of  the  coast

THE  TTTF.SDAY  APRIL  4 1995 


A  Great 
Black  &  White 

Advertisement 

Last  night,  Britain’s  advertising  ‘Oscars’,  the  National  Newspaper  Campaign  Advertising  Awards 
took  place.  The  award  for  best  black  &  white  newspaper  advertisement  of  the  year  was  won  by 
Saatchi  &  Saatclii’s  ‘Junk  Mail’,  part  of  an  anti-racism  campaign  run  by  the  Commission  for  Racial 
Equality  (CRE).  The  campaign  is  called  ‘Uniting  Britain  -  For  a  Just  Society’.  Its  aim  is  to  change 
people’s  attitudes  and  make  racial  discrimination  socially  unacceptable  in  Britain. 

The  winning  advertisement  and  two  more  from  the  campaign  appear  below.  And  Maurice  Saatchi 
Chairman  of  the  judges  explains  why  the  panel  of  national  newspaper  editors,  creative  directors 
and  advertisers  picked  ‘Junk  Mail’  as  Britain’s  best  newspaper  advertisement.  You  can  support  the 

CRE  campaign  by  calling  them  on  0171  828  7022.

Kacism  is  one 
of  the  most

for  advertising  to 
deal  with.  Strong

MAURICE  SAATCHI  anc*  attitudes  are 
Chairman  «f  the  deeply  ingrained. 

judges  _  . 

It  is  an  enormous 
tribute  to  the  people 
at  Saatchi  &  Saatchi  who  created  the 
campaign,  that  they  were  able  to  tackle 
racism  in  a  direct  and  powerful  way, 
but  without  lecturing  or  patronising 
the  audience. 

As  with  all  top-class  advertising  ever 
xx.  produced,  the  message  of  the  CREs 
advert  is  simple  and  goes  straight  to 
the  heart,  ft  is  an  important  campaign 
dealing  with  an  important  subject. 


Racial  discrimination  is  all  too 
common  in  Britain  toddy.  We 
can  be  proud  that  we  live  iri  a  nation 
where  people  of  many  different  faces, 
cultures  and  backgrounds  can  live 
and  work  together.  But  there  is  still  a- 
lot  more  to  be  done  if  we  are  to  get  rid. 
of  the  racism  and  harassment  which 
affects  the  daily  lives  of  so  many 
ethnic  minorities.  ; 

The  toughest  challenge  is  to  fight  ■ 
racism  where  it  is  most  deeply 
fixed,  in  our  own  hearts  and  minds: 
Changing  attitudes  is  the  most 
difficult  part  of  the  process,  and  it  is 
the  part  where  advertising  can  have 
the  most  powerful  influence.  The-  - 
judges  of  these  awards  hope  that  the 
campaign  from  the  CRE  will  be 
another  step  forward. 


The  National  Newspaper  Campaign  Advertising  Awards  are  run  annually  to  acknowledge  effective  and  creative  advertising  in 
the  national  press.  The  aim  of  the  Aw  ards  is  to  demonstrate  the  power  of  the  press  through  the  best  advertisements  that  have 
appeared  in  Britain's  national  newspapers  in  the  last  twelve  months.  We  offer  our  congratulations  to  the  overall  winners, 
Saatchi  &  Saatchi,  for  their  campaign  for  the  Commission  for  Racial  Equality  w'hich  included  the  Best  Black  and  White 
advertisement  and  to  Bar  tie  Bogle  Hegarty  for  winning  the  Best  Colour  Advertisement  for  Moet  &  Chandon.

•  tribal  extremists  into  a  state  of  paranoia, 
or  into  joining  the  Tutsi  militia,*’  Mr 
.Lodesaru  said  yesterday. 

According  to  a  report  by  the  United 
States  Agency  for  International  Develop¬ 
ment,  tided  The  Burundi  Surreality.  the 
manipulation  of  relief  operations  through 
threats  on  both  humanitarian  workers 
and  Tutsis  has  enabled  extremist  politi¬ 
cians  to  fcanent  tribal  hatreds  and  ignore 
the  business  of  government.  The  humani¬ 
tarian  community  has  been  used  as  an 
involuntary’  wedge  between  Burundi’s 
population,  wtuch  is  SSper  cent  Hutu  and 


15  per  cent  Tutsi.  “While  politicians 
discuss  their  future  and  jockey  for 
political  advantage,  potentially  explosive 
issues  (such  as  the  reintegration  or 
resettlement  of  toe  internally  displaced 
Tuts  is)  remain  unaddressed  by  the  cen¬ 
tral  Government"  the  report  said.  Ex¬ 


tremist  Hums  have  been  unable  to  gain  a 
foothold  in  the  Government  since  Leon¬ 
ard  Nyangoma.  the  former  Interior 
Minister,  fled  to  exile  in  Zaire  Iasi  year. 
His  Force  for  the  Defence  of  Democracy 
and  its  armed  wing,  the  Intagohekos 
(those  who  never  sleep)  have  mounted  a 
number  of  attacks  in  some  areas  and  have 
received  arms  from  Rwanda's  Hutu 
diaspora  in  Tanzania  and  Zaire. 

One  Western  ambassador  said:  "The 
Tutsi  extremists  insist  on  driving  the  two 
ethnic  groups  further  apart  and  blocking 
any  chance  of  a  reconciliation.  Yet  they 
should  realise  that  they  cannot  survive 
like  this.  They  are  outnumbered,  and 
sooner  or  later  they  will  be  outgunned. 

•They  have  been  corrupted  by  so  many 
years  of  unchallenged  power.  [Burundi 
was  under  a  Tutsi  military  dictatorship 
between  independence  in  1963  and  the 
1993  riections-1  They  simply  cannot  see 
any  way  of  making  money  other  than 
grabbing  the  reins  of  government  But  the 


Hunts  have  now  had  a  taste  of  power, 
they  know  they  outnumber  the  others. 
they  have  access  to  arms,  and  they  are 
getting  nastier  by  the  day." 

Donors  are  unlikely  to  continue  fund¬ 
ing  the  relief  effort  in  Burundi  until  they 
see  efforts  at  reconciliation  working  at 
government  level — in  particular,  because 
only  two  provinces  in  Burundi  are  short 
of  food,  and  the  country  expects  bumper 
harvests  as  well  as  coffee  and  tea  exports. 
Another  Wester  diplomat  noted;  “The 
time  is  fast  approaching  when  we  will 
simply  give  up  on  this  country." 

□  Massacre  uncovered:  Burundi  troops 
and  Tutsi  gunmen  massacred  an  estimat¬ 
ed  400  Hutus,  mainly  women  and 
children,  in  northeast  Burundi  last  week, 
diplomats  and  aid  workers  said  yester¬ 
day.  One  envoy  said:  "There  is  no 
question,  this  is  genocide.  “  Robert  Krue¬ 
ger.  the  US  Ambassador,  said  the  vast 
majority  of  those  killed,  in  the  Gasorwe 
area,  were  women  and  children.  (Reuierj

By  Christopher  Walker,  middle  east  correspondent 


FOR  the  first  lime  since  unrest 
began  to  rode  the  Gulf  state  of 
Bahrain. last  December,  the' 
ruling  Emir  has  held  high- : 
level -talks  in  an  attempt  to 
restore  calm  before  an  nwerha- 
tfonal  economic  conference,  to  . 
be  held  next  week,  at  which 
Baroness  Thatcher  is  due  to  be 
the  keynote  speaker. 

Opposition  arid  official 
sources  said  yesterday  that  the 
talks  had  taken  place  between 
flie  amir.  Sheikh  Isa  bm 
Salman  al-Khalifa,  and  prom-: 
inent  Bahrainis,  but  gave  dif¬ 
ferent  accounts. .  ' 

The  violence  was:  sparked 
by  the  arrest  of  a  leading  Shia 
Muslim  cleric  after  a  petition 
was  circulated  to  reinstate  the  *• 
partiamentdosed  by  fie  Emir 
20  years  ago.  The  authorities  - 
say  that  protest  is  .  being  or- . 
chestrated  from  Iran  in  order  - 
to  destabilise  the  natfem. . 

According  to '  the  offidal 
GNA  news  agency,  thefeaders  - 
met  toe  emir  on  Sunday  to, 
express  tora-"“conoeni  at  the 
violence  and  sabotage  against 
public  and  private  property". . 
The  agency  said  thay,-  itod*' 
promised  to  make  every  effort' 
to  *** 

In  a  contrasting  ’acpotofr'" 
however,  .members  of  flie  ex¬ 
iled  Bahrain  Freedom  -Mw-/ 
ment,  one  of  iwo 
opposition  groups,;  said  toat 
“about  20  leading.Shja  Mu£-' 
lims  were  summoned  fay  toe  - 
cjtnr  to  ask  them  toend  toe 
unresT.  Hie  (position  :  said 
that  disturbances  have  left  at 
least  12  people  dead  in  toe  past 
four  months,  although  the.. 
Government  has  -  admitted 
only  four  deaths,  including 
flumoftimtepcIiceriRtori. ; 

The  situation  deteriorated  at 


the  weekend  with  a  call  from 
the  main  exiled  opposition 
the  Islamic  Front  for 
of  Bahrain,  for 
a  mass,  campaign  of  rivfl 
disobedience,  and  with  the 
arrest  of  unidentified  suspects 
accused  erf  sabotage  and  the 
killing  of.  a  policeman  and  a 
Pakistani  shop  assistant 
Since-  street  disturbances 
flared  last  December  after  the 
'arrest  erf  petitioners  demand-' 
ing  the  reinstatement  of  par¬ 
liament  —  set  up  after  inde¬ 
pendence  from  Britain  in  1971 
but  dosed  by  the  al-Khatifas 
in  1975— human  rights  groups 
have  accused  the  authorities  of 
using  excessive  force.  *

said  to  be  befmsdunrest 


for  condemnation  by  Islamic

last  week  Amnesty  hrterna- 
tfonal  issued  a  report  saying 
that  the  political  situation  had 
become  critical  with  at  least 
seven  civilians  killed  and  doz¬ 
ens  of  others  wounded  since 
last  December.  The  Govern¬ 
ment  says  that  the  death  toll  is 
lower  and  that  there  have  been 
about  300  arrests,  as  opposed 
to  flie  more  than 3,000 claimed 
by  the  opposition.  . 

Bahrain's  stability  is  of  vital 
importance  to  the  West  Since 
1986,  the  group  of  islands  that 
forms  the  emirate  has  beat 
linked  to  Saudi  Arabia  by  a 
causeway.  The  capital  Mana¬ 
ma.  provides  vital  services  to 
the  United  States  Navy  and 
the  RAF.  although  reporting 
them  is  discouraged  in  an 
attempt  not  to  inflame  extreme 
Islamic  opinion  further. 

At  the  root  of  Bahrain’s 
troubles,  which  are  causing 
increasing  concern  in  the 
West,  is  the  fact  that  a  65  per 
cent  Shia  Muslim  majority  is 
ruled  by  a  Sunni  Muslim 
minority.  Shia  discontent  has 
bem  exacerbated  fay  high  un¬ 
employment  and  a  rule  keep¬ 
ing  Shias  out  of  the  armed 
forces  and  sensitive  adminis¬ 
tration  posts. 

■  In  a  recent  letter  to  The 
Times,  Karim  Ebrahim  al- 
Shakar,  the  Bahraini  Ambas¬ 
sador  to  London,  said  that  toe 
unrest  was  being  provoked 
'  and  supported  by  foreign- 
based  -terrorists  bent  on 
destabilising  the  Gulf  region.

THE  TIMES  TUESDAY  APRIL. 4 1995 


Dr  Thomas  Stuttaford  on  porphyria 


Enough  to  send 
George  III  mad 


NEXT  Thursday  locks  of 
Lhe  hair  of  Charles  I  will  be 
auctioned  at  Bonham  sales* 
rooms  in  London.  When 
the  King's  tomb  was  opened 
in  1813  die  hair  was  snipped 
from  the  severed  head  and 
beard  of  the  monarch  by  Sir 
Henry  Halford,  who  was 
one  of  the  physicians  to 
George  III. 

The  success  of  Alan  Ben¬ 
nett's  play.  The  Madness  of 
George  III,  and  its  new  film 
version,  means  the  King’s 
doctors  are  better  remem¬ 
bered  for  their  inhumanity 
and  incompetence 
when  treating  his 
madness  than  for 
their  love  of  his¬ 
torical  artefacts. 

They  may  justifi¬ 
ably  be  blamed 
for  their  cruelty 
but  this  was  the 
standard  ap¬ 
proach  to  lunacy 
at  the  time. 

George  HI  is 
thought  to  have 
suffered  from 
acute  intermittent 
porphyria,  al¬ 
though  there  is  ar¬ 
gument  as  to  the 
exact  nature  of  it. 

The  biochemistry 
of  porphyria  me¬ 
tabolism  and  the 


Alcohol 
and  the 
Pill  can 
bring  on 
attacks 


different  sorts  of  porphyria 
were  not  only  beyond  the 
experience  of  18th-century 
doctors  but  still  puzzle 
today's  students.  The  Ox¬ 
ford  Textbook  of  Medicine 
describes  the  porphyrias  as 
“inborn  errors  of  metabo¬ 
lism  involving  aberrations 
of  specific  enzymes  in  the 
haem  biosynthetic  path¬ 
way”:  failure  of  the  normal 
metabolism  results  in  phys¬ 
ical  and  mental  symptoms. 

Figures  for  the  prevalence 
of  the  porphyrias  are  not 
available  in  England,  but 
one  survey  suggests  that 
one  in  50,000  in  Scotland 
suffers  from  one  type  or 
another.  For  most  doctors 
acute  intermittent  porphyr¬ 
ia  is  not  so  much  a  biochem¬ 
ical  problem  as  an 
appalling  disease  produc¬ 
ing  severe  constipation. 


acute  abdominal  pain,  limb 
pains  and  extreme  muscle 
weakness  accompanied  by 
severe  anxiety,  depression 
and  noisy,  irrational  psy¬ 
chotic  behaviour. 

In  fact,  the  madness  may 
be  of  secondary  importance 
when  compared  with  the 
physical  symptoms.  The 
scene  of  the  doctors  peering 
anxiously  into  the  regal 
chamber  pot  is  not  a  fig¬ 
ment  of  Bennett's  imagin¬ 
ation  —  they  were  assessing 
not  only  his  constipation 
but  the  colour  of  the  urine. 

In  patients  with 
~  £  acute  intermittent 
9  porphyria  the 
3  urine  varies  be¬ 
tween  dark  brown 
and  red.  and 
grows  darker  on 
standing. 

George  HI  be¬ 
came  progressive¬ 
ly  weaker  and 
took  to  his  bed. 
Patients  during 
an  acute  attack 
develop  a  severe 
and  generalised 
muscle  weakness; 
some  may  even 
succumb  to  respi¬ 
ratory  paralysis. 
The  heart  muscle 
too  is  affected,  the 
heart  rate  in¬ 
alarm  ingly  and 


& 


-e 


creases 
some  patients  die  of  heart 
failure. 

The  first  attack,  of  acute 
intermittent  porphyria  usu¬ 
ally  occurs  in  men  before 
the  age  of  35  —  rather 
earlier  in  women  —  and  is 
unusual  after  50.  The 
disease  is  intermittent;  com¬ 
plete  remission  may  occur. 


TREATMENT  is  with 
heavy  doses  of  carbohy¬ 
drates  by  mouth,  or  by 
intravenous  drip  to  help  to 
correct  the  biochemical  ab¬ 
normality.  anti-psychotic 
drugs  and  analgesics.  The 
most  important  measure  of 
ail  is  to  avoid  the  drugs  or 
lifestyle  which  bring  on 
attacks.  The  long  list  of 
suspect  factors  includes  the 
Pill,  alcohol,  many  medi¬ 
cines  and  stringent  dieting. 


A  life  spent 


Dr  Trisha 


Greenhalgh  talks  to 
a  leading  researcher 
about  African 


prostitutes  and 


hopes  of  a  vaccine 


In  19S4  Dr  Sarah  Rowland-Jones 
was  training  to  be  a  general 
physician,  and  expected  a  con¬ 
ventional  career.  Now.  aged  35. 
she  spends  extended  periods  in  Africa 
studying  prostitutes  and  is  one  of 
Britain's  leading  researchers  into 
HIV  and  Aids  at  the  Institute  of 
Molecular  Medicine  in  Oxford. 

The  switch  in  her  career  was  the 
result  of  a  short  period  during  her 
training  spent  on  the  infectious 
diseases  ward  at  St  George's  Hospi¬ 
tal.  Tooting.  “I  had  only  just  quali¬ 
fied.  and  seeing  young  lives  wrecked 
by  this  new,  unknown  disease.  Aids, 
rat  a  huge  impression  on  me.  At  that 
time  h  was  almost  unheard  of  for 
apparently  healthy  adults  to  suc¬ 
cumb  to  infections  like  pneumocystis 
pneumonia  or  thrush.  1  remember 
one  young  man  told  his  family  his 
diagnosis  and  they  simply  aban¬ 
doned  him;  if  it  had  been  leukaemia 
everyone  would  have  rallied  round. 

"Even  in  those  early  years  we  knew 
that  HIV  was  causing  serious  dam¬ 
age  to  the  victims'  immune  systems. 
As  we  learnt  more  about  HIV,  we 
realised  that  the  immune  system 
doesn't  just  give  in  to  the  virus,  but 
fights  it  for  years  and  years  before 
being  overcome." 

The  question  which  has  fascinated 
Dr  Rowland-Jones  ever  since  is  what 
tips  the  balance  in  this  struggle  and 
can  the  immune  system  ever  win  it? 

Her  work  has  taken  her  to  The 
Gambia,  where  HIV-2  rather  than 
the  more  common  HIV-1  is  prevalent 
(it  shares  about  50  per  cent  of  its 
genetic  code  with  HIV-]).  Here  there 
is  a  group  of  prostitutes  who  have 
remained  HIV-negative  despite  re¬ 
peated  unprotected  sex  with  high-risk 
clients.  “We  wanted  to  study  these 
women  in  more  detail  because  h 
seems  that  they  have  either  inherited 
a  special  resistance  to  HIV  or 
acquired  a  natural  immunity  to  it.” 
They  could  hold  the  key  to  an  Aids 
vaccine. 

The  Medical  Research  Council  has 
established  a  number  of  research 
units  in  the  country  and  two  Gambi¬ 
an  healthcare  workers  travel  around 
on  mopeds  tracking  down  the 
women,  and  offering  free  medical

care  in  exchange  for  blood  samples. 
The  researchers  are  not  allowed  to 
take  more  than  about  a  tablespoonful 
of  blood  every  six  months.  This 
means  that  chit  research  sometimes 
moves  slowly  but  the  women's  clini¬ 
cal  care  is  not  overshadowed.”  says 
Dr  Rowland-Jones. 

In  almost  everyone  who  becomes 
infected  with  HIV,  very  high  levels  of 
virus  are  found  in  the  blood  for  a  few 
weeks,  after  which  the  levels  fall  very 
low  for  months  or  years  before  rising 
again  as  full-blown  Aids  begins  to 
develop.  So  it  seems  that  most 
people's  immune  systems  manage  to 
hold  the  infection  in  check  for  a 
variable  length  of  time  before  being 
overcome.  It  is  now  practically  cer¬ 
tain  that  the  immune  system  can.  in 
some  circumstances,  emerge  the 
victor. 

The  immune  response  to  HIV  is 
mounted  mainly  by  a  particular 
regiment  of  immune  cells  called 


cytotoxic  T-lymphocytes  (CTLs). 
which  seek  out  cells  infected  with 
bacteria  or  viruses  and  activate  their 
in-built  auto-destruct  mechanism. 
CTLs  recognise  infected  cells  through 
an  ingenious  "shop  window”  system, 
in  which  the  infecting  organism  gets 
taken  apart  within  the  cell  and  small 
fragments  are  hooked  onto  “display 
cabinets”  known  as  HLA  molecules 
and  carried  to  the  outside  of  the  celL 
Passing  CTLs  recognise  the  complex 
of  foreign  Eragment-HLA  molecules, 
and  once  they  have  done  so.  they 
trigger  the  production  of  thousands 
of  identical  CTLs. 

“We  found  that  CTLs  of  HIV¬ 
negative  Gambian  prostitutes  react 
vigorously  to  HIV  in  the  laboratory 
ana  kill  the  virus  readily,”  she  says. 
One  explanation  is  that  they  have 
been  “vaccinated"  against  the  infec¬ 
tion,  either  by  taking  on  tiny  amounts 
of  the  virus  at  several  successive 
exposures,  or  by  encountering  an 


unusually  weak  form  of  HIV  before 
being  exposed  to  more  virulent 
strains.  Another  possibility  is  that 
these  women  reacted  to  the  weaker 
HIV-2  virus  some  time  in  the  past 
and  triggered  CTLs  whkh  woe 
active  against  HIV-1  as  well.  Accord¬ 
ing  to  Dr.  Rowland-Jones,  there  is 
evidence  in  favour  of  this 
;  hypothesis. 


growing 
last  hypo 


Her  research  effort  has 
recently  moved  to  Nairo¬ 
bi  in  Kenya,  an  HIV-1 
area,  where  a  small  mi¬ 
nority  of  prostitutes  have  also  tested 
HIV-negative  despite  high-risk  be¬ 
haviour  and  whose  immune  systems 
also  show  evidence  of  hav 
HIV.  CTLs  from  both  the 
and  Kenyan  women  appear  to  be. 
reacting  against  a  specific  fra&nent 
of  HIV  —  a  short  segment  of  a  vital . 
enzyme,  reverse  transcriptase  winch 
the  virus  uses  to  incorporate  its  own 


genetic  material  into  that  of  its  host 
While  HTV-1  and  HIV-2  regularly 
change  their  outer  doak  to  evade  hew 
drugs  or' immune  defences,  they 
cannot  alter  or  dispense  with  reverse 
transcriptase.  Multib  research  info 
anti-HIV  vaccines  is 'now  focusing  on 
attaching .  this  crucial  fragment  of 
reverse  transcriptase  to  larger  mole¬ 
cules  which  carry  it  around  the. 
bloodstream  and  attract  the  attention 
of  CHS.  '

who  is  has  become  HIV- 
negative  after  being  positive,  was  not 
unexpected,  says  Dr  Rowland-Jones, 
but  it  has  boosted  the  hopes  of  those

Last  night,  Britain’s  Advertising 
‘Oscars’  Ceremony,  the  National 
Newspaper  Campaign  Advertising 
Awards  took  place.  The  award  for 
best  colour  advertisement  of  the 
year  was  won  by  Moet  &  Chandon 
and  Bartle  Bogle  Hegarty  for 
‘Press’,  pictured  here. 


Maurice  Saatchi,  Chairman  of  the 
judges  and  his  distinguished  panel  of 
national  newspaper  editors,  creative 
directors  and  leading  advertisers, 
were  unanimous  in  selecting 
Moet  &  Chandon  as  the  winner. 


They  considered  what  makes  a  great 
colour  ad.  Great  colour,  of  course. 
Lots  of  style,  excellent  artwork  and 
reproduction...  that  goes  without 
saying.  But  forging  a  strong  message 
for  a  brand  name  as  powerful  as 
Moet  &  Chandon  required  a  blend 
of  quality  graphics  and  memorable 
words,  skills  familiar  to  both 
journalist  and  ad-man. 


This  advertisement  commands  the 
eye  to  linger.  Its  style  is  redolent  of 
a  sumptuous  champagne  age.  It  sells 
fine  wine  with  period  style.  And  the 
editors  on  the  judging  panel  found 
the  attack  on  “the  power  of  the 
press”  an  irresistible  play  on  words!

Beryl — lilce  Stella  in.ihe  bock 
got  a  job  as  assistant  stage  manager 
because  her-  father  knew  the  Lord 
Mayor,  and  the  lord  Mayer  knew 
,  the  theatre's  manager.,  played  in  die

wanted  to  write*  took  wife  fear  line

I’ve  aiwsys  written  about  the  past 
H^r  pastmainlyi"  .  . -  - 
Awfully  came,  about  one  night 
when,  she  found  herself  drinking 
alone  after  a  heated  discussion  with 
ariose  friend,  inti®  course  of which 


she.  had  knocked  over  a  pile  of 
books.  “I  was  putting  die  books  back 
on  the  shelf  and  1  feD  over  and 
knocked  myself  out  on  the  edge  of 
'  the  table..  When  I  came  round  I 
dozily  went  downstairs  and  started 
to  phone  mymofoer  who  died  17 
years  ago.  Bur instead  of  fey  mother 
‘  I  got  fee  speaking  dock,  ft  started 
me  thinking."  To  say  ntore  would 
'  to.  spoil  the  grotesque  twists  of  a 
.  brilliant  Bainbridge  plot 
.  The  film  was  snot  in  Dublin  as 
Liverpool  was  considered  too  retur- 
--  bished  and  too  changed  to  capture 
'  fete  right  air  of  decay.  “In  Liverpool 
then  there  were  children  barefoot  in 
.  winter,  and  soup  kitchens  up  until 
1949.  People  forget  so  easfly.  In  those 
days  we  all  stank,  even  .the.  lower 
middle  classes.  If  my  mother  got  the 
bus,  she  always  sat  with  hernose  in 
'ahinky.* 

Before  I  went  to  interview  Beryl 
-  Bainbridge,  her  agent  phoned.  He 
said  there  were  lots  of  good  stories 
and  wonderful  coincidences  about 
the  film.  Fbr  a  start  the  girl  playing 
Stella  was  an  unknown  who,  like 
- .  Beryl  as  a  girl,  had  been  working  at 
the  Liverpool  Playhouse  as  an 
usher.  It  was  quite  a  sweet  story  as  rt 
seemed  to  mirror  that  of  both  Stella 
in  the  film  and.  ergo.  Beryl  in  real  ’ 
life 

.  A  bit  too  sweet  actually.  “It’s  not 
true;  at  all,"  remarks  Beryl  tartly. 
“It's  a  hoax  rite  mack  up  to  get  the 
part  At  tite  end  of  shooting  she 
broke  down  and  confessed  she’d 
been  to  the  GuBdhalL  I  think  she 
was  brought  up  in  Sussex.  She’d 
never  set  foot  in  Liverpool  in  her 
life." 

The  interview  ends  when  the 
deaner  phones  for  Beryl’s  cab. 
Cosmos  Cars  Camden.  ‘They’re  all 
Chinese  and  none  of  them  speaks 
English."  wails  Beryl  preparing 
herself  —  with  another  scotch  —  to. 
deliver  a  lecture  to  some  English 
faculty  in  the  depths  of  south 
London.  “God.  I*m  dreading  this." 
she  mutters  as  1  escort  her  to  the  car. 
The  last  I  see  of  her  is  as  the  vehicle 
draws  away,  her  head  pops  out  of  a 
rear  window  and  she  points  to  ho1 
old  tomcat  dragging  himself  along 
the  street  “Oh  look,  iCs  Gerald

So  sorry  you 
weren’t  invited 

Only  the  wallflowers  got  excited 
about  my  dance  with  Rushdie 


AS  UNSEEMLY  as  it  might 
be  for  a  journalist  to  admit 
this,  I  am  beginning  to  feel 
rather  Stephen  Fryish  about 
the  press.  Must  it  be  so  nasty? 

Now,  while  I  don’t  want  to 
slip  too  fatuously  into  Michael 
Winner  mode  —  the  columnist 
as  sdfpublirist  is  not  an 
attractive  spectacle—  I  cannot 
entirely  choke  my  response  to 
the  press  coverage  given  to  my 
dancing  with  Salman  Rushdie 
at  the  launch  party  for  Martin 
Anus’s  new  novel  last  week. 

This  is  the  story:  there  is  a 
party;  people  dance  at  it 
Scoop  of  the  year,  surely.  The 
cameras  were  invited  by  the 
publishing  com¬ 
pany.  so  one  can 
hardly  blame  the 
photographers,  and 
actually  1  don’t  This 
isn’t  about  intrusive- 
ness:  having  your 
photograph  taken 
while  dancing  is  just 
not  something  to  get 
excited  about  or  feel 
ashamed  of.  I  had  a  NIG 

great  time:  nothing  r  au 

to  conceal  about  Li/AV 

that  What  concerns 
me  rather  is  what  the  photo¬ 
graphs  were  used  to  say  later, 
and  the  words  that  accompa¬ 
nied  than  were,  with  some 
exceptions,  notably  composed 
by  those  who  hadn’t  been 
invited.  About  which  more 
later. 

What  the  photographers  — 
and  their  editors  —  really 
wanted  were  pictures  of  Mar¬ 
tin  Amis  and  his  new  girl¬ 
friend.  Had  they  got  those,  the 
apparently  pressing  story  of 
“Salman  Rushdie  dances  at 
party"  would  have  been  kept 
from  you.  But  that’s  all  they 


NIGELLA 

LAWSON 


got,  so  they  went  with  it.  But 
that’s  not  a  story  so  a  spin  has 
to  be  put  on  it  These  days  that 
means  finding  something 
mean  to  say.  And  so  the 
pictures  are  captioned  with 
sarcastic  remarks  about  how 
much  “we"  are  all  paying  far 
Special  Branch  to  look  on 
while  Mr  Rushdie  has  a  good 
time  at  a  party,  alonp  with  the 
usual  snide  implications. 

Why  is  there  so  much  ha¬ 
tred  towards  Salman  Rush¬ 
die?  In  anyone’s  scheme  of 
things,  going  out  to  a  parly 
and  getting  on  down  is  not  a 
particularly  heinous  activity. 
What  do  people  want?  For  him 
to  stay  locked  up  out 
of  sight?  Sometimes 
I  fear  that  what  they 
want  is  even  worse 
than  that  It  is  insup¬ 
portable  that  this 
man  who  is  the  vic¬ 
tim  of  terrorism  is 
treated  as  if  he  were 
the  culprit  of  some 
vile  crime  himself. 
LLA  Why  should  he  have 
ION  10  f°r  ^ 

of  his  persecutors? 

Of  course  not  all 
the  attacks  were  due  to  covert 
racism  or  copy-hungry  oppor¬ 
tunism.  Some  were  fired  sim¬ 
ply  by  resentment  Those  who 
were,  as  the  parlance  has  it, 
NFl  (Not  F******  Invited, 
should  you  need  a  translation) 
went  in  for  the  kill.  1  am 
puzzled  that  people  who 
weren’t  at  the  party  saw 
nothing  strange  about  pre¬ 
suming  to  give  an  account  of 
what  they  didn't  witness.  No: 
it*s  disingenuous  to  describe 
myself  as  puzzled,  for  surely 
it’s  the  lack  of  invitation  that 
explains  it  alL 


Go  on,  really  shock  me 


Bainbridge  fascinated  by  the  twin  subjects  of  innocence  and  death 


EVEN  we  disco  queens  must 
take  a  rest  sometimes:  so 
Sunday  night  saw  me  enjoy¬ 
ing  the  skills  of  others  at  the 
Gala  of  the  Dance  Umbrella 
in  Woking.  After  pieces  by  the 
Royal  Ballet,  the  Scottish  Bal¬ 
let  and  Mark  Morris  inter 
alia,  the  finale,  fbr  reasons  l 
cant  really  fathom,  was  a 
rendition  of  Time  Warp  by 


members  of  The  Rocky  Horror 
Show.  The  stage  was  filled 
with  men  in  black  stockings 
and  high  heels,  while  women 
in  patterned  silk  and  soft 
perms  dapped  placidly  along 
with  the  beat.  There’s  some¬ 
thing  rather  depressing  about 
something  that  was  designed 
to  shock  rehashed  as  material 
for  a  suburban  singalong.

the  TIMES  TUESDAY  APRIL  4 1995 


Exorcising 
the  spectre 
of  Hitler 


Roger  Boyes  on  why  the  Russians 
feared  the  Fuhrer’s  bones 


AS  NAZI  Germany  crumbled 
around  him,  Joseph  Goebbels 
ransacked  his  imagination 
and  made  an  uncanny  predic¬ 
tion  for  1995.  "If  the  Fuhrer 
dies  an  honourable  death  in 
Berlin  and  if  Euroiw  falls  to 
the  Bolsheviks  —  then  in  five 
decades  at  the  latest  the  Fuh- 
rer  will  haw  become  a  legend¬ 
ary  personality  and  national 
sodaJism  will  have  the  quality 
of  a  myth,  blessed  by  that  last 
great  sacrifice.” 

The  mystery  of  Adolf  Hit¬ 
ler’s  death  —  revealed  in  some 
derail  yesterday  by  Der  Spie¬ 
gel  —  has  been  the  object  of 
some  fascination  for  half  a 
century.  The  damp,  cramped 
bunker,  the  Flames  eating  up 
Berlin,  the  strange  crazed 
intimacy  of  Hitler.  Eva  Braun, 
the  Goebbels  family,  the 
crackling  communication 
with  the  Reich,  the  physical 
deterioration  of  the  Nazi  lead¬ 
er:  all  this  makes  up  a  drama 
at  once  sordid  and  compelling. 
The  usual  comparison  is  with 
Wagner's  Twilight  of  the 
Gods,  but  there  was  little  that 
was  noble  or  entrancing  about 
those  final  days  underground. 
Rather,  it  was  bad  opera  — 
Puccini  perhaps  —  with  a 
libretto  by  Von  Clausewitc 
perfectly  logical  commands 
issued  out  of  a  chaotic  house¬ 
hold  into  an  unre-  _ 

cepcive  darkness  as 

the  rumour  of  war  ‘St 

closed  in. 

There  was  black  belie 

farce  too  —  shortly  *l.  r 

before  the  end.  the  lilf!  I< 

Auschwitz  doctor  j-,-. 

Karl  Gebhardt  ap-  uen 

peared  in  Hiller’s  gpj 

bunker,  asking  y 

whether  he  could  be 
appointed  president  of  the 
German  Red  Cross.  If  the  Red 
Cross  has  a  branch  in  hell. 
Gebhardt  is  surely  president 
he  was  hanged  at  Nuremberg. 

Goebbels’s  prognosis  was  a 
relatively  shrewd  one.  Cer¬ 
tainly  it  influenced  Stalin,  who 
needed  much  persuasion  that 
Hitler  was  really  dead.  Profes¬ 
sor  (then  Squadron  Leader) 
Hugh  Trevor-Roper’s  findings 
presented  in  November  1945 
were  widely  accepted  in  the 
West  His  thorough  detective 
work  and  cross-examination 
of  witnesses  seemed  to  squash 
the  many  rumours  that  Hitler 
had  escaped  from  the  bunker. 
Stalin  wanted  more  —  he  had. 
after  all.  die  best  witnesses, 
and  interrogated  them  thor¬ 
oughly.  Almost  a  dozen  of 
these  captives  were  sent  back 
to  the  site  of  the  bunker  in  1946 
for  a  filmed  midnight  re¬ 
enactment  of  the  last  days  of 
Hitler.  When  Stalin  was  con¬ 
vinced.  his  chief  concern  was 
that  the  whereabouts  of  the 
body  should  remain  a  secret. 
Like  all  good  Georgians  he 
believed  in  the  force  of  demon¬ 
ic  spirits.  Hider  was  so  thor¬ 
oughly  evil  that  even  his  bones 
had  to  be  hidden  for  ever. 

Der  Spiegel's  account, 
based  on  recently  discovered 
communications  between  the 
KGB  chief  Yuri  Andropov  and 
the  Soviet  leader  Leonid 
Brezhnev  in  1970.  is  entirely 
plausible  and  has  been  sup¬ 
ported  by  many  interviews 
with  direct  participants.  In 
this  account,  the  remains  of 
Hitler,  his  mistress  Eva  Braun 
and  the  Goebbels  family  (in¬ 
cluding  their  six  poisoned 
children)  were  crammed  into 
five  ammunition  boxes,  driven 
ro  Magdeburg  and  buried  in  a 


‘Stalin 
believed  in 
the  force  of 
demonic 
spirits’ 


Soviet  military  camp.  When  in 
March  1970  it  seemed  that  the 
Soviet  base  might  be  handed 
over  to  the  East  Germans. 
Andropov  asked  for  permis¬ 
sion  to  transfer  the  bodies  to  a 
nearby  tank  training  ground 
for  cremation.  Brezhnev 
approved. 

At  dead  of  night,  exactly  25 
years  ago  today,  five  KGB 
officers  dug  up  the  improvised 
coffins  and  carried  out  the 
order.  The  historical  back¬ 
ground  of  this  night-time  ex¬ 
humation  was  significant: 
Willy  Brandt,  the  West  Ger¬ 
man  Chancellor,  had  just  been 
greeted  by  cheering  East  Ger¬ 
mans  in  Erfurr.  Germany  was 
making  Russia  nervous. 
What  demons  had  been 
un  bottled  by  Ostpolitik? 

Russia  is  still  ruled  by  men 
both  anxious  about,  and  re¬ 
spectful  of.  Germany.  Report¬ 
ing  of  German  affairs  in  the 
Russian  press  is  still  stamped 
by  memories  of  the  war,  by  the 
fear  of  resurgent  nationalism, 
by  the  conviction  that 
Germany  is  the  motive  force 
behind  Nato's  expansion  east¬ 
wards.  There  is  no  more 
uncertain  relationship  in 
world  politics  than  that  of  the 
“good  Friends’*  Boris  Yeltsin 
and  Helmut  Kohl.  Hitler'S 
bones  still  matter  in  a  country 
_  which  has  mummi¬ 
fied  Lenin. 

[jjj  The  Russians 

.  have  consistently 

xJ  in  underestimated 

r  Germany's  ability 

ce  01  to  develop  a  proper 

democratic  culture. 
But  they  were  prob¬ 
ing*  ably  right  to  lake 

^ Goebbels'S  predic- 
'  lion  at  face  value  — 

a  grave  or  a  tomb  to  Hitler 
would  be  dangerous  indeed. 
Even  the  hard-nosed  Western¬ 
er  has  an  uneasy  feeling  in  the 
concrete  tunnels  under  Hit¬ 
ler's  holiday  home  at 
Berchtesgaden. 


GOEBBELS  was  very  eager  to 
arrange  the  proper  kind  of 
death  for  his  master.  It  had  lo 
reclaim,  as  Goebbels  .saw  it, 
the  lost  nobility  of  Hitler. 
Alive.  Hider  in  those  final 
days  was  a  stooped,  stubbled, 
grey,  barely  sane  55-year-old. 
his  tunic  flecked  with  grease. 
Dead.  Hider  could  be  the 
beacon  for  a  reborn  Germany. 
The  order  went  out  to  set  up 
werewolf  units  of  young  Ger¬ 
mans  to  form  the  nucleus  of  a 
new  nationalist  movement 
For  them,  and  others,  a  lasting 
heroic  figure  had  to  emerge 
from  the  rubble.  Goebbels 
read  aloud  chunks  of  Thomas 
Carlyle's  biography  of  Freder¬ 
ick  II  of  Prussia.  The  Prussian 
king  —  whose  portrait  hung  in 
Hitler’s  bunker  bedroom  — 
derided  that  unless  the  Seven 
Years  War  shifted  in  his 
favour  by  February  1762.  he 
would  kill  himself  with  poi¬ 
son.  Fortunately,  the  Russian 
Tsaritsa  died  on  January  5. 
Her  son  was  an  admirer  of 
Frederick. 

Hitler  cried  when  he  heard 
this.  He  wanted  so  much  to  be 
a  latter-day  Frederick.  For 
him.  though,  there  was  to  be 
no  last-minute  salvation.  The 
Russians,  in  their  own  con¬ 
spiratorial  way.  did  the  right 
thing  by  this  pathetic  tyrant: 
his  ashes  nn  doubt  merged 
with  the  dark  heavy  clouds  of 
industrial  smoke  that  slowly 
poisoned  the  East  German 
slate. 


No  critic’s 
turn 


Benedict 


defends  his  craft 


Who  said  that  asking  a  ■ 
playwright  h aw  he  felt 
about  critics  was  like 
asking  a  lamppost  how 
it  felt  about  dogs?  Christopher 
Hampton.  I  think;  but  it  has  become 
increasingly  apparent  of  late  thatJiis 
view  is  widely  shared,  and'not  only 
by  dramatists. 

Tony  Slattery  used  Sunday's  Olivi¬ 
er  Awards  to  attack  critics  ^as; 
variously,  "barking  bloody  mad’Va 
prat",  “boss-eyed"  and  worse.  And 
dial  tirade  came  a  month  after  we 
were  bad-mouthed  for.  cruelty,  to 
another  comic  Reportedly,  it  was  a 
review  of  Cell  Mates  that  called 
Stephen  Fry  “the  alt-time  facade.,  so 
damnably  English  and  perplexingjy 
inexpressive"  which  provoked  his 
hurried  exit  from  the  play  arid  foe 
country. 

We  dish  it  out.  we  -should  take  it_ : 
Indeed,  it  would  probably  do  every¬ 
one  good  if  there  was  more  criticism  ■ 
of  the  critics,  though  it  might  help  if 
the  likes  of  Slattery  were  dearer 
about  their  objections.  As  any  cub  ^ 
reviewer  knows,  there  are  mo®  - 
complete  ways  of  analysing  some=' 
one’s  faults  than  calling  him  names.  - 
Still,  I  don’t  think  we  critics  should  i 
abase  ourselves  for  fear  of  offending , 
Slattery.  Nor  should  we  start  lying 
about  our  feelings  —  for  this  is  what  ■ 
is  implicitly  demanded  —  on  the  off- 
chance  that  they  may  send  perforin- : 
era  to  the  Low  Countries  hi  berets  and . 
dark  glasses.  If  we  have  toiythingto 
apologise  about  h  is  that  we  are  too  - 
generous  and  too  much  in  love  With 
the  theatre.  If  we  shortchange  any¬ 
one,  it  is  not  playwrights  or  comedi¬ 
ans.  but  those  to  whom  we  are 
primarily  responsible:  the  public.

Beggar  thy  neighbour 


Who  was  that  nuisance 
who  said  De  minimis 
non  curat  /ex?  A  likely 
story!  Well,  whoever  he 
was,  he  must  have  been  not  quite  off 
his  rocker,  or  at  least  determined  to 
bring  down  our  entire  legal  system. 
The  truth  is  that  the  lex  curais  like 
bill yu  from  morning  til]  night,  and 
there  isn’t  a  square  inch  left  to  put 
down  a  minimus  or  two.  And  if  you 
don’t  believe  me.  go  and  ask  District 
Judge  John  Turner,  who  has  just 
presided  over  a  case  which  lasted  (1 
days,  an  every  day  of  which  His 
Honour  must  have  come  dose  to 
asking  the  usher  to  pass  him  a  large 
bowl  of  prussic  add  and  a  ladle. 

I  have  been  at  this  business  — 
writing  columns  for  The  Times  —  for 
23  years,  and  I  am  dreadfully  certain 
that  in  every  one  of  those  years  there 
has  been  at  least  one  month  (some 
years  a  dozen)  in  which  1  could,  if  1 
was  mad  enough  to  do  it,  make  at 
least  half  my  columns  out  of  court 
cases  based  on  disputes  between 
neighbours.  I  have  carefully  cata¬ 
logued  167  cases  of  claims  that  Mr 
Higgenbottem’s  trees  are  encroach¬ 
ing  on  Mrs  Bottenhig’s  hedges.  244 
instances  of  Mr  Wallop’S  parking 
space  being  invaded,  1.031  demands 
from  the  family  Smith-Smythe  to  end 
the  stenches  coming  from  their 
chickens,  and  18.909  violent  retalia¬ 
tions  in  the  cases  erf  untrained  dogs. 

And  yet  they  come.  This  time  it  is 
the  Swainstons  v  the  Foxes,  and  there 
is  no  half-time.  What  there  is,  of 
course,  is  invariably  a  draw,  these 
catastrophes  always  end  up  with  both 
sides  wearing  Woody  noses  and  both 
sides,  of  course,  almost  ruined.  (The 
legal  fees  for  both  sides  came  to 
£50.000.  Natch.) 

Let  us  now  get  down  to  the 
Swainstons  and  the  Foxes,  and  what 
they  got  up  to.  In  case  l  might  get 
entangled  in  the  details  of  who  is  who 
(why  is  why.  I  could  never  hope  to 
know),  I  shall  recite  the  catalogue  of 
horror  without  apportioning  names, 
and  I  shall  call  all  the  participants  by 
the  name  of  Hate  One  and  Hate  Two. 

Very  well.  Hostilities  between  Mr 
Hate  One  erupted  when  the  Hate 
Twos  moved  in  nearly  three  years 
ago.  Within  hours.  Mr  Hate  One  was 
complaining  about  rubbish  being 
piled  in  the  driveway. 

The  bitterness  escalated  as  offen¬ 
sive  graffiti  apppeared  outside  the 
Hate  Twos’  home.  At  one  stage  the 
police  were  being  called  up  to  five 
times  a  day. 

The  court  was  told  that  Mr  Hale 


The  courts  are  full  of  people  who  want 
the  people  next  door  to  go  to  hell 


One  had  kept  a  diary  as  the  vendetta 
between  the  neighbours  gathered 
pace.  By  the  time  it  came  to  court 
there  were  almost  1.000  entries.  Most 
related  to  noise  from  Mr  Hate  Two’s 
dog.  radios  and  motorbike.  Among 
the  catalogue  of  incidents  was  me  in 
which  Mr  Hate  One  siphoned  the 
water  from  Mr  Hale  Two’s  water 
bun.  Once,  seven  policemen  were 
needed  to  restrain  Mr  Hate  One. 
Next  Mr  Hate  Two  bought  a  caravan 
and  parked  it  in  his  drive,  blocking 
Mr  Hate  One’s  view. 

A  twist  was  added  to  the  court 
proceedings  when  Mr  Hate  Two’s 
parents  gave  evi¬ 
dence  against  their  __ 
son —  they  said  that  f  J 
they  had  moved  to 
North  Devon  to  get  X/v/  i 
away  from  him.  At  -y 

the  end  of  foe  case.  I 

foe  judge  ordered  f  .^3 

that  Mr  Hate  Two  -1 — * 

should  only  play  his  - - 

radio  with  his  ga¬ 
rage  door  dosed,  should  not  touch  a 
fence  between  foe  two  properties  and 
must  not  let  his  down -pipe  overflow 
into  his  neighbours’  garden.  The 
judge  was  also  critical  of  the  amount 
of  time  the  case  had  taken  and  said 
there  should  be  a  way  to  nip  in  the 
bud  such  disputes.  He  added  that  the 
case  was  the  “most  wretched  and 
miserable  neighbours'  dispute  to 
come  before  me". 

That.  I  assure  you.  is  only  a 
smattering  of  the  horrors  of  this  case; 

I  have  left  the  worst  bits  out.  because 
I  am  not  (though  h  may  seem  to  you 
otherwise)  simply  intending  to  make 
your  flesh  creep.  Indeed  I  am  not 
even  pointing  a  finger,  or  talking 
about  vendettas  and  hatreds  and 
sworn  oaths.  I  am  talking  about 
human  beings,  and  how  extraordi¬ 
nary  they  are.  or  can  be. 

We  all  stan  with  a  variety  of 
feelings,  passions,  instincts;  these  are 
not  to  be  confused  with  intelligence, 
even  genius.  The  creature  called  a 
human  being  has  a  substantia] 
number  of  possibilities  as  soon  as  it 
understands  what  existence  means, 
and  i:  car.  use  it,  or  abuse  it.  as  it 
chooses. 

Somewhere,  there  must  be  a  gene 
that  deals  with  place;  indeed,  there 
certainly  is.  and  it  is  surely  the  oldest 


Bernard 


and  most  intractable.  One  of  the  most 
familiar  cartoons  —  it  is  probably  the 
runner-up  to  the  desert-island  one  — 
is  foe  picture  of  foe  cave-man  with  his 
dub.  But  there  can  be  no  cave-man 
without  a  cave.  That  fascinating 
book.  The  Territorial  Imperative . 
was  a  huge  success  in  the  United 
States,  and  another  in  Britain.  And 
that  was  not  by  chance,  because  the 
book  sang  the  praises  of  place,  of 
home,  of  roots,  of  familiar  signs;  why, 
was  not  one  of  the  most  familiar 
statements  ever  made  “Here  I  stand. 
I  can  do  no  other"?  And  on  a  less 
awesome  plane,  it  only  takes  half  a 

_  dozen  people  com- 

j  ing  together  to  have 

J  at  least  one  of  them 

i/lmii  mention  his  home. 

%dvi  t/V  We  can  spread 
a  the  idea  wider  still: 

it  is  not  another 
7/7  joke  for  the  cartoon- 

v**'  ist  (though  foe  car- 

-  —  toonist.  again, 

blesses  its  existence) 
foai  very  many  homes — not  only  foe 
retired  majors*  —  are  christened 
Dunromin.  Indeed,  the  very  idea  of 
giving  a  house  a  name  might  be 
thought  odd,  yet  no  one  —  no  one  in 
this  country,  at  least  —  thinks  that  it 
is  strange. 

But  James  Elroy  Flecker  did  not 
think  it  strange  at  all: 


on  the  the  unbelieving  faces  round 
the  table  when  L  somewhat  tentative¬ 
ly.  said  that  I  had  never  sat  behind 
the  wheel  of  a  car  —  in  America!  — 
will  remain  with  me  all  my  life.) 

There  must  be  countless  people 
who.  coming  bad;  from,  say,  a 
greatly  enjoyed  holiday,  nevertheless 
find  themselves  on  the  edge  of  tears 
when  they  see  their  home,  and  rush 
into  it  and  touch  the  furniture.  But 
that  is  why  I  told  you.  some 
paragraphs  ago,  that  foe  wrest 
quarrels,  short  of  murder  (and  quite 
frequently  not  short  of  murder),  are 
those  which  concern  homes,  and  that 
is  why  sane  and  level  human  bangs 
are  willing  to  spend  the  last  penny 
they  have,  and  borrow  more  that  they 
haven’t,  to  make  sore  that  no  enemy 
will  touch  foeir  redoubt  (It  isobvious 
for  castles  to  have  been  invented;  but 
it  was  foe  genius  who  invented  die 
moat  who  is  blessed  for  evermore.) 


There  is  an  American  saying 
that  goes  “Stout  fences  make 
good  neighbours’  and  no 
one  would  deny  its  truth.  I 
have  to  admit  that  although  1  have  , 
lived  in  the  same  house  for  more  than 
30  years,  I  do  not  know  who  are  the 
people  who  live  in  the  house  adjacent 
on  my  left,  and  I  would  not  know 
those  on  my  right  as  well,  were  it  not 
for  foe  fad  that  it  is  a  doctor's,  and  foe 
going  and  coming  makes  it  obvious. 

And  thus  1  come  back  to  where  I 
started,  with  foe  judge  still  groaning,  • 
as  well  he  may. 

Howeasy  it  looks  to  say  "it  doesn’t 
matter"  when  it  is  other  people  who 
are  involved:  how  absurd  it  is  to  <fig 
in  when  it  is  not  your  spade. 

Look  at  these  words,  arid  don’t  tell 
me  that  I  exaggerate:  they  refer  to  Mr 
Hate  One.  He  and  his  family  “put 
their  life  savings  into  bringing  the 
case  to  court  and  will  have  to  find  the 
remaining  quarter  of  their  legal  bills 
themselves ...  This  has  been  two  and 
a  half  years  of  absolute  misery  and 
we  just  want  to  get  on  with  having  a 
quiet  life . . .  fingers  crossed,  that  is  ; 
what  we  can  now  have . . ." 

As  for  Mr  Hate  Two.  well.  .  I 
don’t  know  how  we  will  pay  the  costs 
but  we  will  not  be  moving  away  from 
the  area,  even  if  we  have  to  go  too  a 
council  house ...  we  are  shocked  at. 
afi  that  has  happened  and  at  how  I 
have  been  painted  as  some  kind  of 
madman ..." 

And  for  an  envoi?  How  about  Two 
wrongs  don’t  make  a  right,  but  two 
hates  can  go  on  hating  tiff  the  end  of 
time"? 


Half  w  forget  the  wandering  and  the 

pain . 

Half  to  remember  days  that  have  gone 
by. 

And  dream  and  dream  that  l  am  home 
again! 


And  if  you  think  that  is  too  highbrow 
there  is  always 


Mid  pleasures  and  palaces  though  tec 
may  roam. 

Be  it  ever  so  humble,  there’s  no  place 
like  home. 


Many,  many  years  ago,  I  was

What  ho,  Blair 


FINAL  PROOF  of  Tony  Blair’s 
departure  from  the  world  of  trade 
unions,  working  men's  clubs  and 
socialism  comes  courtesy  of  the 
P.G.  Wodchouse  Society.  He  has 
just  signed  up  as  a  member. 

An  article  in  The  Times  which 
exposed  him  as  an  admirer  of 
Bertie  Wooster.  Gussie  Fink-Nottle 
ar.d  their  ilk  seems  to  have  done 
the  trick.  After  it  appeared  in 
February',  he  was  approached  by 
foe  satiety  to  become  an  honorary 
member  and  readily  accepted. 

The  derision  is  likely  to  win  him 
votes,  says  Richard  Morris,  chair¬ 
man  of  the  society.  “1  will  be  trying 
to  str!  the  society  to  vote  as  a  block 
for" mm  at  Lhc  election.  I  am  sure  he 
Ai!)  have  an  advantage  now  he  is  a 
member."  Blair’s  membership  will 
be  announced  in  the  next  issue  of 
foe  society's  newsletter.  Later  this 
year,  he  will  be  asked  to  unveil  a 
plaque  at  Threcpwood  House  in 
Hampshire,  where  Wodchouse 
lived  for  ten  years.

leader. 

The  news  of  Blair's  membership 
comes  as  little  surprise  to  Sir  Tun 
Rice,  that  inveterate  VVodehouse 
fan.  who  has  just  been  appointed 
chairman  of  Richmond  and 
Barnes  Conservatives:  'Tony  Blair

animal,  which  inmates  look  after 
on  behalf  of  a  donkey  sanctuary, 
was  later  recaptured  by  police  and 
prison  staff  at  a  cost  to  public 
funds  of  more  than  £75.

Bowie:  self-portrait

THE  GLACIAL  gallery  girls  in

mounting  his  first  solo  art  exhibt- . 
tim  at  The  Gallery  in  Cork  Street 
later  this  month. 

One  of  the  more  striking  paint¬ 
ings  in  this  mini-retrospective  is  a 
portrait  of  fellow  pop  star  Iggy .Fop 
from  1975.  Iggy.  Pop’s  head  is 
bright  blue  and  the  painting  is 
described  by  one  art  fancier  as 
“powerful  and  expressionist". 

Bowie  has  gathered  one  or  two 
sefcportraits  for  his  show,  which 
covers  20  years  of  painting,  draw¬

Proof  that  no  critic's  likes  or 
hates  should  be  regarded  as 
holy  writ?  Certainly.  But  re¬ 
viewers  have  other  functions  than  to 
judge.  They  must  describe,  inform, 
analyse  and  interpret:  work  out  the 
aims  of  dramatists  and  directors;  and 
place  performances  in  a  continuing 
tradition.  Mast  of  us  try  to  offer  our 
readers  some  objective  evidence  be¬ 
fore  reaching  what  is,  of  course,  a 
personal  verdict. 

And  if  I  ain  to  believe  friends  who  . 
(unlike  roost  critics)  aren't  manic

op  the  kind  side.  How  can  impress-  '

facades  with  at  least  twte"superb*’  or 
“brilliant”?  If  you  had  believed  the

CITIZEN  CHIRAC 


The  Mayor  of  Pans  has  turned  French  politics  on  its  head 


TTifi  Fterafo  presidential  election  campaiga 
does  not  even  b^m,  offidal!y;  tintil  the  oatl 
of  this  weefc  But  in  another  sense,  it  is  half 
over.  Rom  a  standing  start  at  the  beginning" 
of  year,  Jacques Chirac  has -not^Hmly  ‘ 
firmly  established  himself-  as  the  man  to 
beat  he  has  defined  the  terms  of  The  pnnWt 
He  argues  for  a  dean  break  with  the 
Mitterrand  years.  He  has  thus  deftly  put  the 

Socialist,  Lionel.  Jospin,  at  a  disadvantage; 


be  his  least  durable  legacy.  The  tone  of  the 
election  .  campaign  is  in  tins  respect  un¬ 
mistakable:  the  future.  French  President  will 


and  forced  Edouard  Bahadur  to  desotitie 
politics  of  consensual  piudenceinwhich  he  ’* 
is  naturally  atfrome.  He  has  stolen  a  march  •• 
on  the  Left  by  prodaimingJLeft  and  Right  to 
be  obsolete  terms,  and  he  has  reinvented 
himself  as  the  politician  who,  precisely 
because  he  has  such  long  experience  of 
governing,  can  most  effectively  bridge  the 
gulf  between  the  pptitical  establishment  and 
Ihe  tilings  that  matter  to  ordinary  people. Y 

This  is  all  fascinating  to  politicians,  not  * 
least  in  Britain;  Bat  the  more'  important . 
question  for  France’s  neighbours  is  whether 
the  outcome  will  make  any  real  difierdace  to 
the  way  France  is  run,  the  way  it  looks  aithe 
world  -i-  or  to  the  character  of  the  electoral 
debates  unfolding  in  Italy,  Belgium  and 
Spain.  It  is  tempting  to  assume  that  elections  - 
inWestern  Europe  do  riot  much'  matter  to 
nafehbourmg  countries:  Wkjever.  wins, 
after  a U,  Europe’s  democracies  no.  longer 
fight  each  other;  arid  in  most  of  these 
countries,  their  establishments  are  adept  at 
bringing  pditidans’  electoral  promises  of 
radical  change  -back  to  .reality”  once  the 
voters  have  gone  home.  Many  members  of 
Frances  elite  agree  with  Alain  Mine  that, 
this  would  also  be  true  of  M  Chirac,  who 
would  soohbeforced  to  concede  that ‘‘we  can 
only  became  competitive  by  imparting  the 
German  model\On  tins  argument,  the  rally 
vital  issue  for  an  ally  is  rdiabilily  in 
moments  of  crisis  such  as  the  Gulf  War. 

In  France's  case,  it  already  appears. dear  _ 
that  the  Frenchman  who  presides  over  the 
next  European  summit,  this  June  in  Cannes,  : 
will  chart  a  ntwErehch  strategy  towandsthe 
European  UruorcWhoever  wins,  President 
Mitterrand's-  enthusiasm  for  federalism, 
based  as  it  was  on  confidence  that  Ranee 
could  control  Europe’s  destiny,  seems  set  to' 


~  but  with  national  governments 
.  rather  than  common  institutions  in  the 
driving  seat  In  foreign  policy  most  French¬ 
men  are  Gaullists  now,  although  this  does 
not  imply  ih&collapse  of  the  Franco-German 
aids.  It  was,  after  all,  de  Gaulle  who 
published  foe  bairns  for  tile  Franco-German 
marriage,  and  Erendi  poBtidans  stiU  believe 
/foatGennan  power  is  best  managed  witiun 
the  tight  embrace  of  love. 

But  the  new  Frendiemphasiscm  foe  inter¬ 
governmental  character  of. European  co¬ 
operation  will  have  enormous  bearing  on 
Europe’s  future.  Tfceimportance  of  a  Chirac 
victory  would  be  that  he  is  the  man  most 
able  to  articulate  it  in  ways  that  attract  solid 
popular  support  Both  M  Bahadur  ,  and  M 
Cbirac^are  converts  to  a  “flexible"  Europe 
based  on  shifting,  interest-biased  coalitions, 
and  M  Bahadur  has  gone  out  of  his  way  to 
insist  that  the  Europe  of  the  future  “cannot 
be  federal  in  nature”.  But  M  Bafladur  has 
yet  to  say  how  this  can  be  squared  with  his 
pcduy  of  economic  and  therefore  political 
muon  with  Germany  at  foe  earliest  possible 
date.  A  distancing  from  the  European  Com- 
.  mission  and  Parliament  would  be  even  har¬ 
der  to  detect  tijouldlidnel  Jospin  defy  the 
long  odds  against  victory.  He  is  a  quint¬ 
essential  Clause  Fbur  Socialist,  with  all  foe 
faith  ;in  foe  ElTs  social  charter  and  the 
mantra  of  “solidarity”  which  that  implies. 

A  Chirac  victory  would  not  guarantee  a 
meeting  of  minds  across  the  Channel  When 
M  Chirac  inveighs  against  the  powers  of  the 
European  Commission;  for  example,  there  is 
more  than  a  hint  of  hostifily  to  attempts  by 
Brussels  to  control  French  subsidies  to 
uncompetitive  industries.  But  France  is 
never  harder  tb'deal  with  than  when  it  is  in 
one  of  its  fits  of  national  gloom,  and  M 
Chirac  has  foe  dynamism  to  tackle  foe 
country^  most  pressing  domestic  chal¬ 
lenges.  Public  disaffection  with  politics  is  a 
Europe-wide  phenomenon.  If  France  discov¬ 
ers  a  new  lease  of  life  post-Mitterrand,  it 
could  affect  foe  climate  beyond  its  frontiers. 


MAJOR’S  MUSE

may  be  asked,  has  Mr  Major  turned  to  a  fine 
historian  at  litis  stage  in Iris  fortunes?  ’  •  . 

Much  can  be  leand  about  foe  powerful; 
hum  foe  people  whose  cerebral  campahy 
they  keep.  Often,  of  anirse;  they  surround’ 
themselves  wifo  formidable  intellects  to  add 
lustre  .  fold  cultural  authority  to  their 
rtghnes.  The  Emperor  Augustus  adored  foe , 
company  of  poets for  instance  just  as 
Joseph  u  flaunted  his  patronage  of  Mozart. 
In  recent  times,  .Western  leaders  have  often 
had  recourse  to  han&jpkked.  academic 
gums  who  think  the  unfoinkaWe  an.  their 

behalf  Margaret  Thatcher  enjoyed  a  flexible 

association  with  a  number  of  Conservative 
academics.  Bin  Qiiiton  has  been  influenced 
by  the  ideas  of  bis  Oxford  ccottanporaiy  and 
now.Iabpur  Secretaiiy,  Robert  Rekfo-How- 
ever  pragmatic  a  politician,  there  are  always 
occasions  when  an  idea  gleaned  from  a 
hdpful  thinker  can  capture  the  public

trawling  foe  grovzs-bf  academe  for  helpful 


From  time  fo -  time,  a  rulers  guru  also 
becomes  his  muse.  So  it  was  between 
AloSnder  foe  Great  and  Aristotle,  who 
inspired  foe  young  conqueror  to  Cany  foe  - 
fluid  with  him  as  he  took  on  the  world. 


Ghariemagne’s  intellectual  friendship  with 
the  Anglo-Saxon  scholar  Alcuin  went  far 
beyond  -mere  patronage,  as  did  Frederick 
H’s  stomtyassotiatkm^vifo  Voltaire.  In  such 
..cases,  brainpower  can  be  an  enthralling 
‘diversion  from  the  cares  of  office.  It  can 
make,sense  of  daunting  responsibility.  At 
-foe  very  least,  it  can  make  foe  mighty  feel  a 
tittle  better about  themselves. 

-  .  A  doser  parallel  to  Mr  Major’s  affinity 
with  Mr  Gilbert  may  be  John  F.  Kennedy’s 

-  ^relationship  with  Arthur  Schlesinger,  who 

-  was  the  force  bdtind  the  young  Presidents 
hypnotic  oratory  and — some  alleged  —  the 

'  true  author  of  his  prose.  Nor  was  it  an 
■  accident  thatSchle&mger  was  an  historian, 
who  had  already  wan  a  Pulitzer  Prize  in  his 
twenties.  After  Kennedy’s  death.  his  adviser 
:  played  a.  vital  role  in  the  mythologising  of 
•foe  Cametat  years.  Along  with  William 
’  Manchester,  Sdbleringer  became  one  of  foe 
"  most  prominent  chroniclers  of  the  pre¬ 
sidency  and  an.  apostle  for  the  assassinated 
CbmmaiKteMnGhiet  As  an  historian,  he 
.  perhaps  performed  a  greater  service  for 
Kennedy  after  his  death  than  during  his  life. 

Mr  Major  is  said  to  have  a  keen  eye  to 
posterity  and  a  sense  of  his  role  in  history 
which  has  sadly  eluded  most  of  his 
contemporaries.  Mr  Gilbert's  presence  an 
this  trip  will  not  restore  the  Government’s 
.  electoral,  fortunes-  or  repair  .the  special 
relationship  between  Britain  and  America. 
It  may,  however,  reassure  Mr  Major  foal  his 
ride  of-  the-  story  will  be-put  to  future 
generations  ;in  tea  even-handed  way.  And 
who  better  than  Churchill's  biographer  to 
give  a  fair  account  of  a  Conservative  Prime 
Minister's  struggle  against  adversity?

European  travel  without  passports  Advantages  of  single-sex  schools 


from  Mr  Nigel  H.  C.  Ward 


Sir,  Your  leader.  “Jeux  sans  front- 
ities"  (March  27).  rightly  points  out 
how  it  has  been  made  progressively 
easier  to  travel  between  many  of  the 
countries  of  mainland  Europe,  long 
before  the  Schengen  agreement  was 
implemented  (report,  March  25). 

Many  of  us  travelling  between  the 
UK  'arid  France  fry  air  often  have 
merely  to  hold  up  our  passports  at 
immigration  control;  rarely  are  they 
banded  to  or  even  opened  by  the  cus¬ 
toms  officer.  However,  you  assert  that 
Schengen  should  not  be  implemented 
in  Great  Britain  for  a  variety  of 
reasons,  none  of  which  I  find  convinc¬ 
ing. 

There  is  no  difference  to  the  res¬ 
trictions  and  controls  that  need  apply 
to  Sights  arriving  at,  say.  Frankfort 
from  the  US  or  Asia  than  to  those  ar¬ 
riving  at  Heathrow.  There  is  no  com¬ 
plaint  now  from  the  main  airports  in 
the  UK  about  carrying  foe  cost  of 
receiving  passengers  who  wish  to  fly 
cm  to  Birmingham  or  Edinburgh. 

Anyone  who  has  recently  travelled 
either  by  ferry  or  Le  Shuttle  knows 
that  the  immigration  procedures  are 
minimal,  untikdy  to  prevent  any 
determined  felon  from  entering  our 
country. 

Of  course  careful  control  procedures 
must  be  maintained  for  all  travellers 
altering  Europe  from  non-EU  coun¬ 
tries,  but  nothing  will  be  achieved  by 
restricting  the  movement  of  EU  citi¬ 
zens  in  and  out  of  Great  Britain. 

Tb  do  so  would  be  to  add  to  foe 
growing  list  of  differences  between 
ourselves  and  our  partners.  Those 
who  wish  this  to  happen  would  be  the 
first  to  complain  about  unnecessary 
delays  Mien  they  next  tried  to  start 
their  summer  holidays  in  France. 
Spain,  Italy  and  elsewhere. 


Beethoven  was  played,  and  ii  fdi  good 
to  be  amongst  friends,  to  be  European 
and  yet  no  less  British. 

To  pass  through  the  EC’s  internat¬ 
ional  frontiers,  wifo  a  smile  rather 
than  a  forma)  reading  of  my  passport 
details,  would  give  me  a  feeling  of 
immense  pleasure  and  pride.  It  is  a 
great  shame  that  foe  strident  minority 
seems  to  be  setting  foe  agenda  for  foe 
silent  majority.  Once  again,  Britain 
seems  to  be  on  the  outside  looking  in. 


Yours  sincerely, 

B.  HUTCHINSON,

From  Mr  D.  A.  Heaton 


Sir,  I  have  travelled  through  the  Chan¬

Sir/I  am  British  and  proud  to  be  so,

Sir.  Travel  within  the  group  of  seven 
Schengen  nations  no  longer  incurs 
checks  at  national  frontiers.  However, 
foe  police  in  each  Schengen  nation  wfli 
be  able  fo  demand  proof  of  identity 
anywhere  within  its  own  borders 
(report  March  25).  It  seems  that  foe 
freedom  to  cross  borders  without  a 
passport  is  to  be  bought  at  the  cost  of 
having  to  carry  identity  documents  all 
the  time. 

1  am  more  than  happy  to  carry  a 
passport  when  I  cross  to  France,  but  1 
want  to  retain  foe  freedom  to  walk  to 
my  village  shop  without  carrying  an

that  freedom  under  pressure  from

Right  to  silence 

From  Mr  Adrian  Zuckerman 


Sir,  There  is  nothing  wrong  wifo  ex¬ 
pecting  a  suspect  to  answer  questions, 
provided  the  interrogation  is  fair  [tet- 
tern,  March  24,  31].  But  the  Criminal 
Justice  Act  1994  makes  no  provision 
for  foe  fairness. 

One  of  foe  most  basic  requirements 
of  fairness  is  that  before  being  re¬ 
quired  to  defend  oneself  one  should  be 
given  information  about  the  case  that 
one  has  to  answer.  Moreover,  it  is  in¬ 
herently  unsafe  to  build  a  case  on 
what  a  suspect  says  an  being  arrested, 
when  be  may  be  nervous,  emotional 
and  confused. 

Solicitors  would  therefore  be  justi¬ 


fied  to  advise  clients  to  reserve  their 
reaction  until  they  have  calmed  down 
and  until  the  police  have  put  their 
cards  on  foe  table. 

No  doubt,  this  may  help  some  guilty 
persons  escape  punishment  But  for  as 
long  as  we  believe  that  h  is  better  to  let 
ten  guilty  go  free  than  convict  one 
innocent  this  is  foe  price  we  have  to 
pay  for  fair  and  just  procedures. 

It  should  also  be  remembered  that 
should  we  be  unfortunate  enough  to 
be  taken  to  a  police  station,  each  and 
every  one  of  us  would  like  to  receive 
fair  treatment.

Planning  maze 

From  Mr  G.  Roland  Adamson 


Sir,  Despite  the  fact  that  Sir  John 
Notrs  letter  was  printed  on  April  I,  I 
was  intrigued  by  his  suggestion  that 
new  military  units  should  be  set  up 
based  on  popular  football  clubs. 

As  a  schoolmaster  for  23  years  I 
recognise  the  British  adolescent  male 
as  a  dangerous  creature  unless  he  is 
'  brought  under  control  by  loyalty  to 
freely-chosen  voluntary  units.  Once 
we  had  the  drill  halls,  now  according 
to  Sir  John  we  could  have  foe  popular 
soccer  dubs. 

I  suggested  in  my  recent  book 
Speaking  My  Mind  —  not  published 
on  April  1  —  that  aU  14-18-year-oki 
youths  should  have  to  join  a  local 
uniformed  organisation  and  attend 
one  evening  a  week,  one  weekend  a 
month  and  one  week  a  year  in  camp 
and  compete  in  all  activities  against 
other  local  groups  m  sports  and  ex¬ 
ercises. 

Sir  John’s  idea  is  more  imaginative. 
At  cme  stroke  we  could  end  all  football 
hooliganism  and  have  foe  fittest  and 
best  trained  youths  in  Europe.  This 
would  certainly  frighten  the  Spanish 
fishermen. 


Sir,  The  latest  planning  fiasco  re¬ 
ported  in  your  columns  ("Oast  re¬ 
storer  takes  local  dispute  to  Stras¬ 
bourg".  March  21),  involving  the 
rebuilding  of  an  oast  house,  dearly 
demonstrates  that  the  planning  sys¬ 
tem  in  this  country  is  Jong  overdue  for 
public  scrutiny. 

The  number  of  planning  appeals 
reported  in  the  press  is  totally  in¬ 
significant  compared  to  those  which 
occur  on  a  country-wide  basis  —  al¬ 
most  20.000  every  year,  using  foe 
Department  of  the  Environment's 
own  statistics. 

Any  planning  code  which  permits 
the  designation  of  a  ruin,  refurbished 
to  a  useful  purpose,  as  “a  dangerous 
planning  precedent"  and  which  states 
that  it  must  be  demolished  "in  the 
national  interest1"  is  clearly  more 
deserving  of  authorship  by  Lewis  Car- 
roll  than  by  sensible  and  caring 
administrations.

Sir,  Dr  Simon  Wessety  is  wrong  m 
staring  that  the  age  of  puberty,  after 
having  fallai  steadily  since  the  middle 
of  the  last  century,  has  now  reached  a 
plateau  (“Are  vw  really  getting  more 
miserable?",  March  21).  He  does  not 
say  whether  he  is  discussing  puberty 
in  boys,  girls  or  both,  but  presumably 
he  means  girls,  since  most  of  foe  data 
available  concerns  them. 

Professor  D.  F.  Roberts  and  I  have 
shown  in  several  articles,  foe  latest  in 
the  Journal  ofBiosoaal  Science,  1993, 
volume  25,  that  foe  trend  towards  ear¬ 
lier  menaithe  (puberty  in  girls)  was 
reversed  about  twenty  years  ago  and 
the  age  is  now  not  steady,  but  in  fact 
slowly  increasing.

From  the  Principal  oj  Cheltenham 
Ladies'  College 


Sir,  Charles  Bush,  the  Headmaster  of 
Eastbourne  College,  writes  (letter. 
March  30)  of  the  college's:  decision  to 
admit  girls.  However,  foe  modem 
world,  unfortunately,  is  not  one 
“where  both  sexes  compete  equally" 
In  faa.  women  still  struggle  for  equal 
recognition  of  their  talents  and  abil¬ 
ities. 

In  a  girls'  school  all  is  provided  for 
girls  —  laboratories,  libraries  and 
sports  facilities.  There  is  no  question  of 
some  subjects  being  boys'  subjects, 
nor  is  there  any  danger  of  them  aban¬ 
doning  the  computer  room  under 
male  pressure. 

Most  girls  wfl]  da  better  in  an  en¬ 
vironment  where  they  can  take  all  foe 
responsibilities  and  leadership  roles 
and  see  female  role  models  in  senior 
positions.  They  need  time  and  oppor¬ 
tunity  to  build  up  their  confidence  be¬ 
fore  discovering  that,  as  Nigetla  Law- 
son  put  it,  “the  male  ego  is  a  fragile 
thing  and  cannot  cope  with  female 
competition”  (March  28)  and  risk  be¬ 
ing  put  out  of  the  race  before  they  are 
even  in  it 


uage.  It  is  not  the  job  of  a  school  to 
mirror  society,  nor  is  it  foe  job  of  a 
headmaster  to  follow  whatever  trends 
happen  to  be  gathering  momentum,  it 
is  his  job  to  decide  what  is  educa¬ 
tionally  desirable.  Co-education,  on 
current  evidence,  is  not.

April! 


From  Mr  M.  B.  Fisher 


Sir,  In  his  justification  of  co-education, 
or  his  school's  derision  to  opt  for  it.  foe 
Headmaster  of  Eastbourne  College 
leaves  unanswered  two  questions. 
Why  do  the  league  tables  unam¬ 
biguously  show  that  the  highest  at¬ 
tainment  is  to  be  found  at  single-sex 
schools?  And  why  did  our  predeces¬ 
sors,  who  created  the  schools  which 
we  inherit,  segregate  the  sexes  at 
adolescence? 

It  is  not  good  enough  to  talk  about 
co-education  as  a  "trend'*  which  is 
“gathering  momentum"  and  which 
“minors’'  society.  Education  has  suf¬ 
fered  enough  from  this  kind  of  lang- 


Sir,  As  Headmaster  of  one  of  the  few 
remaining  all-girls'  schools  in  this 
area  of  the  South  Coast,  I  cannot  agree 
with  Charles  Bush's  letter. 

There  has  been  a  deluge  of  an¬ 
nouncements  over  recent  years  of  for¬ 
mer  boys’  schools  taking  girls.  All 
businesses  face  economic  pressures  in 
this  recession  and  arty  school  has  the 
right  to  develop  and  change  in  order  to 
try  to  keep  its  share  of  foe  market  One 
does  sometimes  question,  however, 
the  educationally  philosophical  state¬ 
ments  which  are  made  with  these 
announcements. 

The  fact  that  girls  achieve  so  much 
more  in  a  single-sex  environment  is 
well  known.  Indeed,  foe  article  by  the 
President  of  the  Girls’  Schools  Associ¬ 
ation  stated  the  evidence  most  dearly 
(“Why  we  need  girls'  schools".  Edu¬ 
cation.  March  27). 

Like  Charles  Bush,  we  also  respond 
to  parents'  wishes  and  will  continue  to 
offer  single-sex  education  for  young 
women  to  prepare  them  effectively  for 
their  adult  fife,  during  which  we  trust 
they  will  help  improve  society.  Mir¬ 
roring  society  has  not  often  proved  the 
way  of  improving  it.

Judges’  retirement  age 


From  Mr  Richard  Addis 


From  His  Honour  Judge 
Richard  Holman 


Sir,  There  is  no  sound  reason  to  sup¬ 
pose  that  judges  are  any  better  than 
other  people  at  deriding  for  them¬ 
selves  when  to  retire  (report.  March 
29).  There  is  always  the  danger  of 
staying  on  mo  long,  and  in  ray  view  a 
compulsory  retirement  age  and  the 
lowering  of  that  age  for  judges  are 
both  unobjectionable. 

Indeed,  although  I  am  entitled  to  sit 
until  I  am  72. 1  am  happy  to  indicate 
publicly  to  the  Lord  Chancellor  that  I 
envisage  hanging  up  my  wig  and 
making  way  for  a  younger,  fresher 
mind,  rather  earlier  than  that. 


Sir.  As  a  recruiter  of  volunteers  wifo  a 
minimum  age  of  50  my  mouth  is 
watering  at  the  wealth  of  potential 
talent  being  released  into  community 
service  now  that  all  those  judges  will 
be  retiring  at  70. 

RSVP  (Retired  and  Senior  Volun¬ 
teer  Programme)  will  never  impose  an 
upper  age  limit  Our  oldest  volunteer 
at  foe  moment  recently  celebrated  her 
hundredth  birthday.  Her  contribution 
is  leading  a  group  which  knits  min¬ 
iature  clothes  for  premature  babies  in 
hospitals. 

We  could,  however,  readily  suggest 
a  variety  of  less  demanding  projects 
for  retired  judges.

Fishing  dispute 


awaits  foe  courageous  action  taken  by 
the  Canadian  authorities. 


From  Mr  Walter  Cairns 


Sir.  Senor  Torrents  dels  Prats  is 
perfectly  right  (letter.  March  30).  We 
should  not  rely  on  sentiment  when 
assessing  the  rights  and  wrongs  of  the 
current  fishing  dispute  between  foe 
EU  and  Canada.  The  issues  must  be 
assessed  solely  and  purely  on  their 
own  merits,  which  concern  conserva¬ 
tion  of  fishing,  regardless  of  the  nat¬ 
ionality  of  the  perpetrator. 

It  was  right  for  Iceland  to  defy  in¬ 
ternational  rules  in  1972.  and  it  is  right 
for  the  Canadians  to  do  the  same  now. 
More  than  once,  international  law  has 
proved  unequal  to  certain  situations, 
and  has  ultimately  sanctioned  prac¬ 
tices  originally  classified  as  illegal 
because  they  fully  exposed  foe  short¬ 
coming  in  the  applicable  rules. 

I  am  confident  that  a  similar  fate

Wise  investment? 


Buchan  plaque 


From  Mr  Ken  Simmons 


From  Mr  Andrew  Lownie 


Sir,  Concerned  foal  apy  annual  in¬ 
crease  in  my  state  pension  should  be 
adequately  invested  without  jeopar¬ 
dising  foe  country’s  economy,  here  is 
my  proposition,  and  1  invite  readers’ 
comments  in  respect  of  both  the  sense 
and  the  morality  of  my  derision. 

Commencing  cm  April  6.  the  annual 
princely  increase  (or  37p  weekly)  wiB 
purchase  three  extra  kffler  cigarettes, 
sheer  luxury  to  foeover-65s  for  whom 
such  satisfaction  is  in  itself  an  invest¬ 
ment;  foe  Chancellor  himself  should 
certainly  approve,  for  much  of  foe  37 
pence  returns  immediately  to  foe  ex¬ 
chequer. 

And  then  there  is  longevity.  Today, 
though  with  dedining  health  and  at 
enormous  cost  in  hospital  or  com¬ 
munity  care.  90  is  no  great  age,  and 
rtty  “extra  three"  in  shortening  my  life 
will  save  National  Insurance  contrib¬ 
utors  huge  sums. 

Thus,  in  summing  up,  I  reach  these 
conclusions:  three  extra  cigarettes, 
some  fifty  extra  puffs  of  sheer  delight, 
should  reduce  uty  life  expectancy,  im¬ 
prove  foe  economy  and  relieve  stare 
pension  contributors  of  an  enormous 
burden. 


Sir.  Peter  Hopkiik  (letter,  March  23)  is 
quite  right  that  John  Buchan  should 
have  a  London  blue  plaque,  and  foe 
obvious  house  to  mark  is  76  Portland 
Place,  the  site  of  his  former  home  from 
1912  to  1919.  particularly  since  Richard 
Hannay  in  The  Thirty-Nine  Steps 
lived  “hard  near  Portland  Place". 

If  English  Heritage  will  not  do 
something  to  mark  foe  35  years  Buch¬ 
an  worked  in  London  then  perhaps 
the  Buchan  Society  should  organise 
its  own  plaque.

Classical  Association  meeting 


Horace  shines  in  modem  critical  light 


By  Phi  up  Howard 


THESE  snows  are  fled  away 
from  the  beach  at  St  Andrews, 
though,  they  suli  gleam  on  the 
distant  highlands.  In  his  presi¬ 
dential  address  to  the  Classi¬ 
cal  Associations  of  Scotland 
and  England  yesterday.  Pro¬ 
fessor  David  West  of 
Newcastle  University  shone 
fresh  light  on  two  of  the  best 
loved  odes  of  Horace. 

The  poems.  1.4  Sohritur 
acris  hiems  and  4.7  Diffugen 
nrves,  dance  around  the  end  of 
winter  and  the  brevity  of 
mortality.  (“Pale  Death  with 
foot  impartial  knocks  at  the 
poor  man's  cottage  and  at 
princes’ palaces.”  observes  the 
former.) 

in  May  1914.  at  the  end  of  a 
lecture  at  Cambridge.  A.E. 
Housman  uncharacteristical¬ 
ly  announced  that  he  was 


going  to  the  latter  as 
poetry  rather  than  grammar. 
He  then  read  his  translation. 
Then  he  said  hurriedly,  tike  a 
man  betraying  a  secrcc  That 
I  regard  as  the  most  beautiful 
poem  in  ancient  literature.” 
and  be  walked  quickly  out  of 
the  room.  One  of  the  under¬ 
graduates  who  watched  him 
said:  "I  was  afraid  the  (rid 
fellow  was  going  to  cry.” 

Professor  West  is  a  golden 
literary  critic  of  Latin  as  well 
as  a  poet  These  two  poems  are 
often  said  to  be  the  most  alike 
in  the  work  of  Horace. 
Professor  West  discovered 
great  differences  in  the  poet 
and  the  world  in  the  ten  years 
between  their  composition. 
And  be  made  a  powerful 
defence  of  traditional  scholar¬ 
ship,  nowadays  put  down  as 

minimalist. 

For  example,  modem  recep* 


Housman:  aided  lecture 
on  Horace  dose  to  tears 


tion  theory  is  concerned  with 
what  later  ages  have  made  of 
the  texts.  This  is  important  to 
classical  scholars  only  in  so  far 
as  it  helps  them  improve  their 
historical  understanding  of 
the  texts.  Doxinstructkmists 


examine  what  they  bring  to 
the  texL  This  is  a  matter  for 
their  analysts  ora  2Qtfa-centu- 
ry  cultural  historian. 

Pro  fessor  West  defended  the 
traditional  job  of  literary 
scholar.  Humbly  to  seek  un¬ 
derstanding  of  great  works 
knowing  mat  we  can  never 
hope  to  know  the  mind  of 
Horace.  To  seek  the  truth  that 
we  can  never  find.  Scholarship 

-  is  a  business  of  using  our 
senses,  intelligence,  emotions 
and  imagination,  all  of  them 

-  under  the  discipline  of  history. 
..  As  we  travel  farther  in  time 
'from  Horace,  even  after  20 
centuries  men  like  Professor 
West  take  us  closer  to  under¬ 
standing  his  ancient  master 
works.  This  may  not  be  fast- 
,kmble  literary  theory!  It  is 
-better  than  that:  to  help  us  to 
understand  a  great  poem  is  an 
act  of  creative  poetry  itselt

Archaeology 


Bone  disease  is  the 
stuff  of  Norse  legend 


By  Norman  Hammond,  archaeology  correspondent 


A  NORSE  saga  telling  of  a 


man  whose  skull  could  resist 
axe  blows  has  been  linked 
with  the  pathological  condi¬ 
tion  of  Paget's  disease.  Al¬ 
though  the  bones  themselves 
still  await  examination,  die 
saga's  dramatic  words  make 
the  diagnosis  a  plausible  one. 

Tgil.  the  son  of  Skati-Grim. 
is  the  most  memorable  Viking 
lo  appear  in  the  Old  Norse 
sagas.”  says  Jesse  L  Byock. 
Professor  of  Medieval  Scandi¬ 
navian  Studies  at  the  Univer¬ 
sity  of  California  at  Los 
Angeles.  Although  brave, 
bright  and  lucky.  Egil  is 
portrayed  as  ugly,  irritable 
and  brooding,  like  his  father 
and  grandfather,  he  was  phys¬ 
ically  menacing. 

In  later  life  Egil  became 
deaf,  blind,  lost  his  sense  of 
balance,  and  suffered  from 
chronically  cold  feet  His  head 
and  face  became  disfigured. 
His  head  was  described  as  ‘a 
helm’s-rock".  and  when  his 
bones  were  reinterred  about 
AD  1150.  160  years  after  his 
death  in  Iceland,  his  descen¬ 
dant  Skapti  Thorarinsson  not¬ 
ed  some  striking  features  of 
theskuti. 

"It  was  ridged  all  over  on 
the  outside  like  a  scallop  shell 


ti  picked  up  a  heavy  axe 
’struck  as  hard  as  he  was 
aWe.  trying  to  break  die  skulL 
But  the  skull  neither  broke  nor 
doited:  it  simply  turned  white 
az  the  point  of  impact.”  says 
EgU's  Saga.  Although  this  has 
been  rited  as  evidence  of  the 
fanciful  nature  of  the  sagas. 
Professor  Byock  claims  it 
shows  just  theopposite. 

A  corrugated  skull  surface  is 
one  symptom  of  Paget’s  dis¬ 
ease.  he  says,  as  is  die  ivory¬ 
like  resilience  erf  the  bone 
remarked  by  Skapti.  The  sa¬ 
ga’s  description  of  Egtils  large 
and  prominent  features  also 
fits,  as  do  his  infirmities  in  (rid 
age.  Professor  Byock  says;  die 
description  of  Egil  is  so  far 
from  normal  saga  speech  that 
a  true  representation  of  his 
striking  appearance  is  likely. 

Although  Sir  James  Paget 
did  not  define  his  eponymous 
affliction  until  1877,  Professor 

Byock  believes  that  it  has 
important  repercussions  for 
the  interpretation  of  Viking 
life  eight  centuries  earlier,  the 
accurate  detail  of  Egfl^  ap- 
pearance  and  decline  suggests 
that  other  information  in  die 
Sagas  maybe  equally  reliable.

lt^jrjoined  the  war  on  Axis  side. 
In  the  three  years  before  she  feB 
victim  to.a  German  torpedo'feetodc 
part- in'  some  desperate convoy  ac¬ 
tions;  shore  bombardments; hanks 
with  theslups  of  the  Italian  navy;  and 
attacks  on  U-boais.  To  keep  her  fully 
functioning  at  sea  without  serious  . 
mechanical  problems  throughout 
this  taxing  period  was  Wjffliamirs 
great  achievement 
David  Aptharp  Williams  joined  die 
Navy  in  1929  from  Cheltenham 
College  and  graduated  in  1934  from 
fee  naval  engineering  college  ..at... 
Keyham,  Plymouth.  Ffis  prewar 
career  was  spent  in  battleships  in  the 
•  Home  Fleet  jmd  training  /artificer 
ap^irentioes  at  Chatham,'-  ' 

He  joined  Hasty  to  tone  1939.  The 
ship's  eventful  war  started  in  the 
South  Atlantic  with;  fee.  capture  of 
two  Goman  blockade  runners.  Mov¬ 
ing  to  tirc  Medftenarean.  jn  June 


1940,  she  bombarded  die  Libyan 
towns  of  Bardia  and  Sidi  Barrani 
-and  in  toty  took  part  in  Admiral 
Cunningham's  firsf  serious  brush 
.  wife  fee  -Italian  battle  fleet  off  the 
coast  uf  Calabria,  making  torpedo 
attacks  on  enemy  cruisers.  Later, 
with  the  Australian  cruiser  Slydney 
'  and  other  destroyers.  Hasty  assisted 
in  the  sinking  of  fee  Italian  cruiser 
Bartolomeo  CoUeonL.  . 

In  fee  autumn  of  1940.  while  on 
convoy,  she  sank  an  Italian  subma¬ 
rine  with  HMS  Havodc.  to  January 
1941  she  helped  the  stricken  carrier 
Illustrious  bade,  to  Malta. 

In  March  she  played  a  prominent 
role  in  the  victory  over  the  Italian 
fleet  near  Cape -Matapan,  in  which 
Cunningham,  intercepted  a  strong 
force,  stoking  three  heavy  cruisers 
and  two  destroyers,  besides  inflicting 
damageon  fee  brand  new  battleship 
Vittorio  Veneto.  This  victory  ensured 
that  fee  Italian  fleet  was  not  able  to 
interfere  wife  the  subsequent  evacua¬ 
tion  of  Briz&i  and  Commonwealth 
troops  from  Greece  and  Crete.  For 


bis  pan  in  operating  Hasty’s  boilers 
and  engines  is  an  action  which 
strained  machinery  to  the  limits,  as 
.fee  British  destroyers  and  light 
cruisers  pelted  hither  and  thnher, 
-  laying  down  smoke  screens  to  coa> 
fuse  the  aim  of  the  Italian  gunners, 
U/fiKams  was  awarded  fee  DSC 

The  subsequent  evacuations  of 
Greece  and  Crete  cost  many  ships 
and  lives,  but  Host/s  charmed  life 
continued  despite  repeated  air  at¬ 
tacks.  She  later  carried  out  17 
hazardous  supply  runs  into  besieged 
Tobruk  until  that  crucial  strongpoint 
on  the  Libyan  coast  was  relieved  by 
tiie  Eighth  Army  in  December  1941. 
In  that  month  Hasty,  wife  other 
escorts,  forced  a  German  U-boat  to 
.  the  surface  and  captured  the  crew. 
Her  final  action  was  the  battle  of 
Sirte.  the  notable  defence  of  a  Malta 
convoy  against  a  vastly  superior 
Italian  force.  Hasty's  luck  ran  out  on 
June  13,  1942.  when  she  was  torpe¬ 
doed  by  a  U-boat  but  all  but  15  of  her 
crew  were  rescued. 

Williams  was  next  appointed  to  fee 


new  aircraft  carrier  implacable  and 
saw  action  against  Japan  wife  the 
British  Pacific  Fleet  in  1945.  Political 
pressures,  as  well  as  professional 
pride,  required  the  Royal  Navy’s 
performance,  especially  in  carrier 
operations,  at  least  to  match  the 
expertise  of  the  Americans  in  fee  vast 
expanses  of  fee  Pacific  Williams 
earned  a  C-m-C’s  commendation  for 
his  leadership  in  the  innovative 
repair  of  a  serious  main  engine 
breakdown,  thus  keeping  Implaca¬ 
ble  at  sea  in  the  front  line. 

Williams  was  engineer  officer  of 
the  cruiser  Argonaut  in  the  Far  East. 
1945-47.  at  which  point  he  recognised 
that  there  could  be  no  more  sea 
service  for  him.  He  therefore  derided 
to  requalify  as  an  aeronautical  engi¬ 
neer  and  become  involved  in  naval 
aviation.  For  the  next  ten  years,  he 
alternated  staff  and  training  appoint¬ 
ments  wife  practical  engineering  at 
air  stations  and  repair  yards  until 
being  appointed  to  command  of  fee 
naval  air  station  at  Abbotrinch,  near 
Glasgow,  where  he  was  particularly 


-  Williams  and  fee  Battle 
of  Cape  Matapan.  1941: 
opening  phase,  British 
cruisers  and  destroyers 
lay  down  smoke  screens 

noted  for  his  cheerful  fostering  of 
good  relations  with  local  people. 

In  June  1962  he  was  appointed 
Director  General  (Aircraft)  in  the 
Admiralty.  The  major  issues  occupy¬ 
ing  him  were  the  exploratory  work 
towards  fee  use  of  vertical  takeoff 
aircraft  in  carriers  and  fee  purchase 
of  fee  American  F4  Phantom  fighter. 
The  acquisition  of  the  Rolls-Royce- 
engined  version  of  fee  F4  was  seen 
then  as  a  laie  vote  of  confidence  in  fee 
Navy's  carrier  programme — though 
this  was  to  be  set  aside  in  fee  mid- 
1960s  by  defence  economies. 

Retiring  in  1965,  Williams  was 
appointed  CB.  Among  other  activi¬ 
ties,  he  was  a  member  of  the  Civil 
Service  Commission  interview  panel. 
An  engineer  of  influence.  Williams 
was  described  by  a  contemporary  as 
bring  “enormously  gregarious”  — 
not  a  man  to  miss  a  party  or  reunion. 
He  will  be  greatly  missal  at  the  final 
closure  dinner  at  the  Royal  Naval 
Engineering  College  at  Plymouth  in 
May  which  he  had  planned  with  his 
son,  who  is  engineer  officer  of  fee 
Royal  Yacht  Britannia. 

David  Williams  married,  in  1951, 
Susan,  widow  of  Surgeon-Comman¬ 
der  H.  Kempthome.  She  died  in  1987; 
he  is  survival  by  his  two  stepdaugh¬ 
ters  and  feeir  son.

Friends’ Ambulance  Unit  and . 
the  National  Council  of  Social 
Service;  working  wife  those 
made  '  homeless  by  fee 
bombing.  . 

Fronrt  l946  to  1949  he,; 
worked  as  a  solicitor  fer  fee 
Him  Producers’  Guild  and 
feed  fee  Rank.  Organisation. 
In  1949  hie  jrated  the  new 
National  Him  Finance  Corpo¬ 
ration  (NFFC),  launched  by 
Attlees  yatmg  President  of  fee 


Board  of  Trade,  Harold  Wil¬ 
son.  Its  function  was  to  make 
loans  tor  the  production  of 
British  films,  with  fee  rim  of 
resuscitating  fee  industry. 

Terry  had  found  his  fifes 
work.  By  1956  he  was  secre¬ 
tary.  to  the  corporation  and 
became  its  managing  director 


in  1958,  a  role  he  filled  for 
twenty  years  wife  elan,  vision 
and  judgment  He  was  good  at 
picking  winners'  and  some 
projects  turned  into  screen 
classics.  The  NFPC  became  a 
major  factor  in  developing 
new  talent,  including  directors 
such  as  Alan  Parker,  RicDey 
Scott  and  Michael  Apted. 

Audiences  round  fee  world 
might  never  hear  of  John 
Ttory,  but  they  flocked  to  films 
he  helped  to  launch.  These 
included  Genevieve,  Room  at 
the  Top.  Saturday  Night  and 
Sandfly  Morning.  Bugsy  Ma¬ 
lone .  Morgan  —  a  Suitable 
Case  for  Treatment,  and  Star¬ 
dust  The  range  was  eclectic, 
from  Joseph  Loseys  Accident 
and  The  Servant  to  Hammer 
horror.  The  film  business 
became  a  significant  exporter. 

He  was  also  concerned  to 
;  secure  the  future  of  an  indus¬ 
try  that  can  be  alarmingly 
fluid.  Involved  in  fee  estab¬ 
lishment  of  fee  National  F8m 


School,  he  was  one  of  its 
governors  from  1970  to  1981; 
and  of  the  London  Interna¬ 
tiona]  Him  School,  1982-90.  In 
1975  Harold  Wilson  asked 
Terry  to  chair  fee  Prime 
Minister's  working  party  on 
the  future  of  the  British  film 
industry. 

Wife  Wilson's  resignation 
as  Prime  Minister  in  1976, 
some  of  fee  more  radical 
recommendations,  such  as  fee 
establishment  of  a  -  British 
Film  Authority  to  take  over  fee 
fibn  functions  of  DTI  and  the 
Department  for  Education, 
were  not  acred  an.  But  the 
work  of  promoting  govern¬ 
ment  support  continued  in  fee 
interim  action  committee  on 
the  film  industry,  with  Lord 
Wilson  as  chairman  and  Terry 
as  his  deputy,  until  1985;  and 
then  through  the  British 
Screen  Advisory  Council, 
which  remains  fee  industry’s 
main  interface  wife  govern¬ 
ment.  Lord  Attenborough 


described  Terry's  contribution 
as  "an  indefatigable  crusader 
for  British  cinema,  a  wise  and 
trusted  guru  for  us  all". 

John  Tfeny  was  knighted  in 
1976  and  retired  from  NFPC  in 
1978.  Although  already  65.  he 
was  invited  to  rejoin  Denton 
Hall  &  Burgin  as  a  consultant 
in  film  law  and  continued  to 
work  there  several  days  a 
week,  almost  up  to  his  death. 
He  acted  for  the  Indian  Gov¬ 
ernment  in  the  production  of 
Gandhi . 

He  also  became  an  energetic 
governor  of  fee  Royal  Nat¬ 
ional  College  for  the  Blind.  In 
1983  he  moved  to  Branscombe 
in  Devon,  joining  the  church 
choir  and  die  local  operatic 
society,  and  bringing  to  the 
village  fee  generous  person¬ 
ality  that  made  him  so  well- 
liked  in  the  film  industry. 

He  was  married  for  55  years 
to  Joan  Fell,  who  survives  him 
together  wife  their  son  and 
daughter. 


CHRISTOPHER  FALKUS 


Christopher  Falfuis, 

publisher,  died  of  a  heart 

attack  on  March  29  aged 
55.  He  was  born  on 
January  13.  (940. 

CHRISTOPHER  FALKUS 
was  fee  kind  of  publisher  who 
is  loved  by  his  authors.  He 
was  always  at  hand  when 
needed,  with  his  enthusiasm, 
his  encouragement  and  his 
painstaking  advice. 

He  was  one  of  fee  twin  soils 
of  the  naturalist  Hugh  Fallcus. 
After  attending  St  Boniface’s 
College.  Plymouth,  he  went  on 
to  University  College  London, 
where  he  took  a  first  and  won 
the  Derby  Prize  for  history  (fee 
previous  winner  had  been 
G.  R.  Elton}.  From  1964  « to 
J968  he  was  a  lecturer  in 
British  and  European  history 
at  the  University  of  Queens¬ 
land.  • 

His  move  into  publishing 
came  through  his  editorship, 
after  he  returned  to  England, 
of  two  part-works  for  the 
British  Printing  Corporation: 
a  History  of  the  20ih  Century 
and  a  History  of  the  English' 
Speaking  Peoples.  In  1970,  at 
the  age  of  30.  he  was  snapped 
up  by  George  Weidenfeld  and 
made  head  of  the  art  and 
illustrated  book  division  of 
Weidenfeld  &  Nicolson.  He 
was  so  successful  there  that 
two  years  later  he  became 
managing  director  of  the  firm. 

Lady  Antonia  Fraser 
described  how  Weidenfeld 
said  to  her  one  day  at  about 
this  time:  "I  have  a  bright 
young  man  who  wants  to  put  a 
proposition  to  you."  She  asked 
to  be  excused  because  she  was 
busy  writing  a  book,  but 
Weidenfeld  begged  her  to  let 
him  come.  In  the  course  of 
their  meeting.  Falkus  —  for  it 
was  he  —  won  her  over  with 
his  "gift  of  enthusiasm",  as  she 
called  it.  and  persuaded  her  to 
take  on  fee  editorship  of  his 
first  great  brainchild,  fee  30- 
volume  series  of  The  Kings 
and  Queens  of  England.  It 
was  a  spectacular  success, 
wife  not  a  single  -volume 
selling  fewer  than  200.000 
copies.  Falkus  himself  wrote 
fee  Charles  II  volume,  and  his 
wife  Gila  fee  Queen  Anne . 

He  worked  closely  at 
Weidenfeld  with  other  authors 
of  the  Pakenham  family  in¬ 
cluding  Lady  Antonia's  moth¬ 
er  Elizabeth  Longford  and  her 
brother  Thomas  Pakenham, 
both  of  them  also  historians. 
He  developed  both  a  spotting 
and  a  humour  list:  the  latter 
included  Morecambe  and 
Wise,  fee  Goodies.  John 
Cleese  and  “Henry  Root". 

His  manner  of  working  was 
informal,  but  it  led  to  harmo¬ 
nious  staff  relationships  at 
Weidenfeld  and  also  at  Associ¬ 
ated  Book  Publishers,  which 
he  joined,  as  chairman  of 
Methuen  General  Books,  in 
1980.  At  Methuen  he  built  up  a 
remarkable  children’s  list, 
and  introduced  a  series  of  joint 
ventures  with  Thames  Tele¬ 
vision  which  led  to  the  publi¬ 
cation  of  The  World  at  War 
and  The  IOJJOO  Day  War.  Sue 
Townsend,  Leslie  Thomas  and 
Jflly  Cooper  were  among  other 
authors  he  published. 

A  particular  success  at  Me¬ 


thuen  was  Families  and  How 
to  Survive  Them  (1983)  by  John 
Cleese  and  Robin  Skynner.  on 
which  he  worked  closely  wife 
the  authors.  Robin  Skynner 
has  described  how.  just  as 
they  were  finishing  the  book. 
Falkus  remarked:  "This  is 
supposed  to  be  a  book  about 
families,  but  there's  not  a 
word  about  brothers  and  sis¬ 
ters  in  iu"  Skynner  concluded 
that  he  and  Cleese  had  uncon¬ 
sciously  avoided  all  mention 
of  possible  sibling  rivals  —  but 
feat  Phlkus.  as  a  twin,  could 
not  be  so  forgetful.  A  new 
section  was  speedily  added. 

At  the  beginning  of  19® 
Falkus  started  working  for 
Robert  Maxwell  as  managing 
director  of  the  Macdonald 
Group  of  publishers,  where  he 
was  also  required  to  help  with 
the  “authorised"  biography  of 
Maxwell  by  Joe  Haines.  He 
resigned  after  eight  weeks.  In 
the  summer  of  that  year  he 
returned  to  Weidenfeld  & 
Nicolson  as  publishing  direc¬ 
tor  and  remained  there  until 
1992. 

At  fee  end  of  1991  he  had  a 
heart  attack,  and  he  had 
another  one  in  January  I99Z 
He  retired  fee  following  May 
though  he  continued  to  write 


and  edit  from  home,  and 
worked  with  Cleese  and 
Skynner  on  a  sequel  to  fee 
Families  book.  Life  and  How 
To  Survive  It  (J993). 

■  Falkus  was  a  keen  sports¬ 
man.  He  was  a  county  tennis 
player  for  Devon  with  his  twin 
brother  Malcolm,  a  member 
of  the  MCC  and  a  supporter  of 
Arsenal  wife  an  encyclopaedic 
knowledge  of  the  dub’s  hist¬ 
ory.  He  was  also  an  enthusias¬ 
tic.  if  erratic  pianist,  who  liked 
accompanying  his  friends  and 
children  on  their  cellos  and 
violins.  They  did  not  mind  if 
he  got  fee  left  hand  wrong. 

However,  he  did  not  care 
much  for  the  conventional 
duties.  Once,  when  he  was  on 
a  Suzuki  weekend  music 
course  wife  one  of  his  daugh¬ 
ters.  he  enraged  fee  other 
parents  by  bribing  a  pupil  to 
do  fee  washing-up  feat  had 
been  allotted  to  him.  and  had 
to  soothe  them  wife  copious 
bottles  of  red  wine. 

He  married  Margaret  Ma¬ 
thias  in  1965.  and  they  had  a 
son  and  a  daughter.  After  the 
marriage  was  dissolved,  he 
married  Gila  Curtis  in  1977 
and  they  too  had  a  son  and  a 
daughter.  Both  his  wives  and 
all  his  four  children  survive 
him.

ordeal  of  the  “Emigrations!  Depot."  than  he  is 
accosted  by  one  of  these  fellows,  and  asked  if 
he  wans  employment.  The  reply  in  most 
cares  is  in  the  affirmative.  It  is  then  suggested 
that  he  should  volunteer  into  the  Federal

entertained  he  is  led  off  to  fee  recruiting  office

constantly  happens  that  fee  immigrant  does 
not  wish  to  join  the  army,  and  prefers  to  ny 
his  fortune  as  a  mechanic  or  labourer.  In  this

a  friend  who  wants  a  coachman  or  a

introduce  him  to  this  friend  if  he  will  walk  up

The  walk  is  not  prolonged  for  many 
minutes  before  the  generous  American  invites 
the  unsuspecting  stranger  to  take  a  drink.

and  in  this  state  he  is  led  off  to  the  recruiting

report  before  making  any 
decisions  on  the  future  of  other 
staff.  However,  several  other 
people  are  expected  to  go  once 
foe  report  is  published  —  one 
estimate  yesterday  put  the 
number  likely  to  go at between 
12  and  20. 

One  Barings  director  said 
some  employees  would  have 
♦oTL-Ari  to  their  lawyers  who 

“would  have  advised  that  any 
kind  of  resignation  before  the 
report  would  be  seen  as  an 
admission"  of  liability.

Leeson,  who  is  currently  in 
prison  in  Frankfurt  and  fight¬ 
ing  an  extradition  attempt  by 
the  Singaporean  authorities. 

H  win  also  examine  the  rale 
•  of  Barings’  management  in 
both  Singapore  and  London. 
Some  of  the  London  executives 
sanctioned  huge  cash  trans¬ 
fers  to  support  Mr  Leeson*® 
trading  positions. 

Mr  Baring  and  Mr  Tuckey 
resigned  as  directors  of 
Barings  pic  and  also  as  mem¬ 
bers  of  the  committees  cur¬ 
rently  conducting  the  manage¬ 
ment  of  Barings. 

However.  Mr  Tuckey  wfll 
stay  on  as  a  consultant  to 
Barings’  corporate  finance 
business.  His  consuhang  fees 

were  yesterday  said  to  be  snu 

'  under  negotiation. 

‘  '  Michael  MDes,  an  executive 

director  of  Barings,  and  Onno

PRESSURE  for  an  interest  ] 
rate  rise  was  reinforced  yester¬ 
day  by  new  figures  showing 
continuing  price  rises  in  in¬ 
dustry  and  strong  output 
growth. 

The  latest  figures  from  pin; 
chasing  managers  suggested 
rising  inflation  pressures  and 
so  foe  need  for  further  m- 
creases  in  interest  rates.  How¬ 
ever.  City  analysts  believe  that 
Kenneth  Clarke,  the  Chancel¬ 
lor,  and  Eddie  George.  Gover¬ 
nor  of  *e  Bank  of  England. 

are  unlikely  to  agree  to  a  mw 

rate  rise  at  their  monthly 
meeting  tomorrow. 

But  City  forecasters  believe 
that  further  economic  evi¬ 
dence  this  month  is  likay  ’ to 
confirm  pressure  for  hi  guff 
rates,  and  that  another  half- 
point  increase  in  base  rates  is 
likely  in  May. 

The  latest  purchasing  man¬ 
agers’  figures  from  foe  Char¬ 
tered  Institute  of  Purchasing 
and  Supply  (CIPS).  published 
yesterday,  suggest  continuing 
price  pressures  and  capacity 
problems  as  manufacturing 
expansion  remains  strong. 

Upward  pressure  on  prices 
)  continued,  with  the  CIPS 


prices  index  rising  from  732  m 

February  to  75  in  March. 
Apart  from  January’s  752 
figure,  this  the  highest  since 
the  survey  began. 

Over  half  the  purchasing 
managers  surveyed  reported 
further  rises  in  foe  pnce  0! 
materials,  fuels  and  semi¬ 
manufactured  goods.  Eri**5 

were  being  pushed  up  by  foe 
weakness  of  sterling,  which 
led  to  higher  import  prices, 
and  by  supply  shortages- 
The  overall  purchasing 
managers'  index  edged  down 
to  55.7  from  56.8,  but  foe 
institute  said  that  it  still  indi¬ 
cated  strong  growth  m 
manufacturing- 
□  Headline  year-on-year 
growth  in  MO.  the  narrow 
measure  of  UK  money  supply, 
rose  strongly  last  month,  trig¬ 
gered  by  a  leap  m  bank 
deposits.  MO  rose  by  a  season¬ 
ally  adjured  7  per  cent  m  foe 
year  to  March,  far  higher  than 
February’s  62  per  cent  rate 
and  foe  6.6  per  cent  increase 
many  had  predicted.  But  most 
*  of  the  impetus  came  from  a  Dig 
'  increase  in  bank  balances  at 
;  the  Bank  of  England,  which  is 
normal  ahead  of  Easter. 


THE  London  Stock  Ex¬ 
change  is  considering  cut¬ 
ting  the  privileges  of  market- 
makers  in  the  wake  of  the 
Northern  Electric  affair. 

Swiss  Bank  Corporation’s 
securities  business  built  up 
large  stakes  in  regional 
demcity  companies  on  its 
own  account  and  to  meet  | 
contracts  ultimately  held  by 
Trafalgar  House,  which  bid 
for  Northern.  . 

listed  companies  fear  that 
market-makers  could  abuse 
exemption  from  disclosing 
share  stakes  above  3  per 
cent,  under  foe  Companies 
Act  1985.  to  encourage 
predators.  . 

In  a  consultative  docu¬ 
ment.  the  exchange  asks 
whether  foe  definition  of  a 
market-maker  might  be 
tightened  or  foe  exemptions 
modified  via  LSE  rules. 

The  Exchange  says  foal 
135  stakes  of  more  than  3  per 
cent  were  disclosed  to  it 
privately  by  market-makers 
last  year,  against  only  21  m 
1986.  Of  the  1994  big  hold¬ 
ings.  56  were  held  for  Iks

Second  successive 
boom  year  for 
world  trade  forecast 

_ _  .  ■  rr\t*TAD 


By  Graham  Searjeant,  financial  editor 


Pennington,  page  23 


WORLD  trade  is  heading  for 
a  second  year  of  strong  expan¬ 
sion  in  1995.  after  its  best  year 
for  nearly  two  decades,  foe 
World  Trade  Organisation’s 
first  annual  survey  predicts. 

The  volume  of  world  trade 
in  goods  last  year  expanded  by 
9  per  cent  the  fastest  rate  since 
1976  and  nearly  three  times 
the  35  per  cent  growth  m 
world  merchandise  output. 
The  value  of  exports  grow  by 
12  per  cent  topping  E4.0UU 

billion  for  foe  first  time. 

The  WTO  expects  1995  to 
show  above-average  growth, 
though  not  quite  as  fast 
Office  machinery  and  tele¬ 
communications  equipment,  a 
category  that  includes  comput¬ 
ers  and  semi-conductors,  now 
accounts  for  H  per  cent  of 
world  trade  after  again  grow¬ 
ing  much  more  strongly  man 
the  average.  Trade  in  these 
high-technology  goods  is  now 
bigger  than  foe  trade  m  tooo. 
fuels  or  cars,  the  WTO  calcu¬ 
lates.  The  value  of  trade  in  ser¬ 
vices.  which  usually  outpaces 
goods,  grew  at  only  half  foe 
rate  of  merchandise  last  year. 

The  biggest  boost  to  trade 
growth  came  from  Western 


Europe,  where  the  value  of 
exports  and  imports  grew 
more  than  II  per  cent  Western 
European  trade  shrank  in 
1993.  restricting  the  growth  in 
world  trade  to  3  per  cent 
The  rising  yen  again  hit 
Japan’s  exports.  By  volume, 
they  grew  by  only  2  per  cent 
last  year,  foe  slowest  of  any 
big  economy,  having  changed 
little  in  1992-1993.  The  volume 
of  Japan’s  imports,  by  con¬ 
trast,  grew  13-5  per  cent. 

Central  and  Eastern  Europe

Mercuiy  fears 
convergence  of 
BT  and  Cellnet 


MERCURY  One-2-One,  the 
third  largest  mobile-phone  op¬ 
erator,  has  told  Of  tel,  die 
industry  regulator,  that  the 
biggest  threat  to  competition 
inthe  market  is  the  inevitable 
convergence  of  British  Tele¬ 
com  and  60  per  cent-owned 
Cellnet. 

Richard  GosweU.  managing 
director  of  One-2-One.  said  the 
coming  together  of  BT  and 
Cellnet  would  “raise  issues 
about  dominance  and  anti¬ 
competitive  behavior.  BT 
controls  more  than  90  percent 
of  the  residential  telephone 
market  and  Cellnet  is  only 
sightly  smaller  than  Voda¬ 
fone.  the  market  leader. 

Mr  GosweU  is  particularly 
concerned  about  joint  billing, 
whereby  Cellnet  customers 
would  receive  a  single  bUl 
from  BT  for  their  mobile  and 
home  phones.  A  single  biU.  he 
said,  would  be  a  powerful  dis-

incentive  to  “chum.’'  the  in¬ 
dustry’s  term  far  customers 
dropping  their  service  and 
going  to  a  com  peti  ting  net¬ 
work.  Reducing  high  chum 
rates,  currently  about  25  per 
cent  a  year,  is  one  of  the 
mobile  phone  biggest  chal¬ 
lenges.  “Cellnet  and  BT  are 
the  only  ones  that  could  offer 
joint  billing,  so  it  is  a  competi¬ 
tive  issue.”  he  said. 

BT  and  Cellnet  have  no 
immediate  plans  for  joint  bill¬ 
ing.  but  trials  could  occur 
within  the  next  two  years. 
“Joint  billing  is  an  aspiration 
for  the  industry,  and  it  is 
looking  most  feasible  far  BT 
and  Cellnet,"  said  William 
Ostrom,  a  Cellnet  spokesman. 

BT  and  Cellnet  have  a  pro¬ 
ject  called  “fixed-mobile  con¬ 
vergence."  which  is  examining 
ways  to  combine  certain  ser¬ 
vices.  One.  called  ftrsonal  As¬ 
sistant,  which  allows  Cellnet 


and  BT  customers  to  be  traced 
with  a  single  phone  number, 
is  now  being  tested. 

BT  hopes  to  forge  closer 
financial  links  with  Cellnet  as 
well.  It  has  made  no  secret 
that  it  would  like  to  buy 
Securteor*s  40  per  cent  stake  in 
Cellnet.  but  would  need  per¬ 
mission  from  the  Department 
of  Trade  and  Industry  to  do  so. 

Separately,  Cellnet  reported 
that  it  added  715.000  new 
customers  in  its  March  31 
financial  year,  raising  the  total 
number  to  1.73  million. 
Vodafone  remained  in  first 
place,  with  1.82  million  cus¬ 
tomers  at  the  end  of  March. 
Cellnet  predicted  in  January 
that  dial  it  would  unseat 
Vodafone  as  the  market  leader 
this  year.  One-2-One.  owned 
by  Cable  and  Wireless  and  US 
West,  a  regional  phone  com¬ 
pany  in  America,  said  it  now 
has  260.000  customers. 


Digging  deep:  Alan  Shearer,  chief  executive  of  Camas,  the  building  materials  group 
demerged  from  English  China  Clays  Camas,  reported  a  rise  in  profits  to  £19.2  million  from 
£10.98  million  in  1994.  A  final  dividend  of  25p brings  the  total  to  3.75p.Teznpus,  page  24

Nelson  Robertson,  Group  Chief  Executive,  says: 

Whilst  we  anticipate  an  increasingly  chaUeriging 
operating  environment  for  our  UK  general  insurance 
and  life  assurance  businesses,  we  believe  that  the 
various  initiatives  we  have  taken  and  continue  to  take 
will  enable  us  once  again  to  record  good  performances 
in  our  home  markets. 

These,  together  with  further  gains  anticipated  in  the 
United  States  and  improvements  in  other  important 
areas  of  our  business  provide  excellent  prospects  for 
our  operating  performance  in  1995. 59

Labour  revises  its 
training  levy  plan 

LABOUR  yesterday  signalled  a  shift  in  its  plans  for 
industrial  training  by  ottering  alternatives  to  fts  proposed 
training  levy.  Business  leaders  have  been  pressing  Labour 
to  modify  its  proposals,  under  which  aD  employers,  except 
very  small  ones,  would  be  required  to  invest  a  "minimum 
.  amount”  in  training —  previously  put  by  Labour  at  up  to  1 
per  cent  of  turnover  —  or  contribute  to  a  training  levy. 

Harriet  Harman.  Shadow  Employment  Secretary,  last 
night  put  forward  three  options  within  a  dear  commftment, 
to  a  statutory  approach.  These,  are  a  revised  levy  with 
greater  flexibility,  reflecting  the-  growth  of  smaller 
companies;  an  employee  entitlement  to.  perhaps,  five  days* 
training  a  yean  and  learning  accounts,  .under  which 
employers  and  employees  would  contribute  to.  an  account 
to  pay  for  training. which  employees  could  take  to  oewjolbs.

ING,  eager  to  rehabilitate  its

doubtless  like  the  facts  out  before 
June.  Nor,  presumably,  aoes 
Barines,  where  certain  heads  sit 
uneasy,  relish  this  long  shadow 
from  the  sword  of  Damocles. 
Unfortunately,  Barings's  fate  is 

of  its  own  making  and,  with 
much  at  stake,  speed  can  hardly 
be  the  Bank’s  priority-  Peter

BURMAH  CASTROL  maker 
of  Castrol  GTX  motor  oil.  is 
reaping  the  rewards  of  its 
marketing  push  into  the  fasi- 
erowing  Asian  Tiger"  econo¬ 
mies  with  profits  from  its 
Castrol  Asia  subsidiary  grow¬ 
ing  by  a  third  in  1994. 

The  gain  combined  witn 
increased  market  share  in  the 
United  States  and  a  recovery 
in  chemicals  to  enable 
Burmah  to  raise  pre-tax  prot¬ 
its  before  exceptional  items  by 
21  per  cent  to  £219.5  million  in 
the  year  to  December.  It  is 
raising  the  dividend  18  per 
cent  to  32iSp. 

Jonathan  Fry,  chief  execu¬ 
tive.  said  the  1994  results  were 

1  achieved  against  a  bette-r  bad<- 

ground.  with  growth  in  the  G7 


MPM  falls 
to  Cookson 
for  £93m 


countries  of  3  per  cent.  In  the 
lubricants  market,  however, 
there  was  growth  of  only  1  to  z 
per  cent  in  volumes,  “we  dia  ( 
per  cent."  he  commented,  "and 
we  are  continuing  to  take 
market  share." 

Profits  from  chemicals  grew 
by  34  per  cent  to  £48.9  million 
mainly  due  w  recovery  at 
Foseco.  the  metallurgical  com¬ 
pany.  Mr  Fry  said  the  im¬ 
provement  in  chemical  profits 
was  due  to  reductions  m  costs 
and  improvements  in  prices. 

Burmah  sained  market 
share  in  the  important  Ameri¬ 
can  D1Y  motor  oil  market  ana 
reckons  it  is  only  15  points

24  MARKETS  /  ANALYSIS 


THE  TIMES  TUESDAY  APRIL  4 1995 


Km 

Shares  shrug  off  turmoil 
on  foreign  exchanges 


SHARES  and  gilts  staged  a 
resilient  performance  in  the 
face  of  further  volatility  on  the 
world's  currency  markets  and 
Friday's  60-point  fall  on  Wall 
Street 

The  equity  market  recov¬ 
ered  from  a  hesitant  start  to 
end  the  day  on  a  positive  note 
with  the  FT-SE  100  index 
finishing  52  higher  at  3,143.1. 
But  turnover  levels  remained 
on  the  low  side.  By  the  dose  of 
business  a  total  of  494  million 
shares  had  changed  hands  but 
this  figure  had  been  swollen 
by  last-minute  bed  and  break¬ 
fast  transactions  designed  to 
establish  tax  losses  before  the 
financial  year-end. 

Selling  pressure  among  the 
institutions  was  kept  to  a 
minimum  as  the  second  quar¬ 
ter  of  the  year  began.  Glaxo 
finned  5p  to  711p  after  approv¬ 
al  from  the  US  Food  and  Drug 
Administration  to  market 
Imbrex,  its  anti-migraine 
treatment  in  tablet  form. 

Northern  Electric  stood  out 
with  a  rise  of  14p  to  763p  as 
dissident  shareholders  contin¬ 
ued  to  apply  pressure  to  the 
group  after  the  aborted  bid  by 
Trafalgar  House.  Calls  have 
been  made  for  an  extraordi¬ 
nary  general  meeting. 

Shares  of  the  independent 
television  and  radio  broad¬ 
casting  companies  enjoyed  se¬ 
lective  support  with  the 
Government  intending  to 
bring  forward  legislation  al¬ 
lowing  media  cross-holdings. 
Brokers  are  hopeful  that  such 
a  move  could  lead  to  a  wave  of 
speculative  buying.  Gains 
were  seen  in  ChDtern  Radio, 
25pto228p.  HTV  Group.  3p  to 
167p.  Scottish  Television,  21p 
to  458p.  Ulster  Television.  20p 
to  689p.  and  Yorkshire  Tele¬ 
vision.  20p  to  437p. 

Shares  of  Govett  &  Co.  the 
fund  manager,  jumped  26p  to 
285p  as  a  “for  sale”  sign  went 
up.  The  group  said  it  is  in  talks 
with  a  number  of  parties 
about  the  sale  of  its  John 
Govett  fund  management 
business  in  London  and 
Govett  Asset  Management  in 
San  Francisco. 

This  latest  move  follows 
Commerzbank's  bid  for  Jupi¬ 
ter  Tyndall,  ip  firmer  at  419p. 
Dealers  are  also  patiently 
awaiting  a  bid  of  about  230p  a 
share  for  Sharelink,  die  tele¬ 
phone-based  private-client 
stockbroker,  from  Charles 
Schwab,  the  American  broker. 
Sharelink  rose  12p  to  219p. 

A  profits  warning  left  VHE 
Holdings  lOp  lower  at  80p. 
Wet  weather  in  1995*5  first 
quarter  had  restricted  work 


Bruce  Fanner,  managing  director  of  Morgan  Crucible 


on  outstanding  contracts  and 
was  likely  to  hit  net  profits  by 
£12  million.  The  City  was 
expecting  pre-tax  profits  of  up 
to  £4.5  million  but  the  group 
said  this  target  will  nos  be  met 
However,  profits  were  unlike¬ 
ly  to  be  below  £3  million 
against  £3.8  million  last  time. 

ABN  Amro  Hoare  Govett, 
the  broker,  is  believed  to  have 
completed  a  review  of  the 


stores  sector  and  has  begun 
circulating  its  findings  to  cli¬ 
ents.  Apparently  it  urging 
clients  to  take  profits  in  Dix¬ 
ons.  Ip  easier  at  229p,  Boots, 
down  5p  at  504p.  and 
Sear&steady  at  I04bp.  Ar  the 
same  time  its  rases  Great 
Universal  Stores,  5p  off  at 
556p,  Storehouse,  lp  lighter  at 
229p.  and  WH  Smith,  2p 
better  at  414p,  as  buys. 

.  AAH,  the  bid  target,  rose  5p 


money  it  accrued  from  last 
month's  £193  million  rights 
issue.  It  is  buying  MPM 
Enterprises,  a  US  screen- 
printing  maker,  for  £93  mil¬ 
lion.  The  group  is  paying  an 
initial  £402  million  with  de¬ 
ferred  payments  of  up  to  E52.8 
million.  MPM  last  year  made 
profits  of  $9.8  million. 

Full-year  figures  from 
Bunnah  Castro]  were  at  the 
top  end  of  City  forecasts  with

after  its  first  set  of 
figures  since  being  de-merged 
from  English  China  Gays. 
The  group  saw  pre-tax  profits

BURMAH  CASTROL  has  been  through  so 
much  pain  over  its  chemicals  business  that  it 
can  be  excused  a  little  crowing  over  this  years 
recovery  in  the  business  which  saw  profits 


base,  has  the  advantage  of  being  relatively 
little  affected  by  industrial.cydes. 

If  the  jury  is  still  out  on  Brnmah'S  product 
riScatu  ' 


up  a  point  to  6-  per  cenL  Much  of  the 
improvement  is  down  to  volume  gains 
flowing  through  a  business  whose  costs  nave 
been  driven  down.  The  operational  gearing 
should  help  again  this  year  as  the  recovery  in 
chemicals  emtinnes. 

.  None  of  this  will  sway  doubters  who  still 
wonder  why  Bunnah  is  muddying  its 
impressive  Castro!  lubricants  business  with 
such  a  volatile  and  unrelated  business  like 
specialty  chemicals.  Bunnah  will  be  pushed 
bard  to  get  an  average  return  on  sates  of  10 
cent  from  the  latter  over  the  cycle  while 
its.  which  has  a  strong  consumer 


diversifeatrou.  the  verdict  is  a  sotid  thumbs 

upQngeograpihkaleRpansK^ 

proving  a  leading  profits  earner,  particularly 
welcome  in  view  of  the  dreaiy  cwtlook  in 
Europe.  Hrc  question  faring  Bunnah  is  how 
to  keep  the  Asian  train  moving  as  aaiipetitiaa 
hots  .up  —  the-company  now  faces  some  12 
competitors  m  the  dnceprotected  Indian 
maAet^ —  while  new  markets,  like  Qima,will 
be  stow  to  develop.  Bunnah  is  moving  intora 
cash  generative  phase,  but  the  lu&icaiits 
business,  whfch  uses  up  cash  to  fund  loans  to 
dealers,  will  never  be  a  cash  cow.  Bunnah 
shareholders  would  be  best  served  if, the 
rDmptthy  lost  a  few  nonrcore  businesses  and 
just  did  what  it  does  best:  selling  its  brand. 


Highland 

Distilleries 


THE  question 
minds  in  the  City  ahead 
the  Highland  Distilleries  in¬ 
terims  yesterday  was  the 
extent  to  which  die  company, 
which  has  adopted  a  pos¬ 
ition  of  lofty  disdain  during 
earlier  downturns  in  the 
highly  cyclical  Scotch 
whisky  market  has  got  its 
hands  dirty  from  discount- 
mg  at  the  tail  end  of  last  year. 

The  answer  Is  not  modi 
but  probably  more  than  in 
previous  price  ware.  Certain¬ 
ly,  Highland  insisted  it  had 
held  back  from  the  sort  of 
discounts  widely  available  to 
wholesalers  from  owners  of 
the  cheaper  brands. 

.  But  it  was  forced  to  see  the 
gap  between  The  Famous 
Grouse,  its  main  brand,  and 
die  run  of  the  pack  widen 
from  its  normal  lewd  of  30p 


to  50p  in  the  run-up  to 
Christinas,  when  the  bulk  of 
the  discounting  in  Scotch 
takes  place,  before  it  took, 
artipn- 

Famous  Grouse  sales 
therefore  held  up  wdl  is  the 
UK.  increasing  jS  per  cent  in 
the  first  half  and  showing 
some  improvement  in  profits 
in  spite  of  marketing  spend 
up  by  a  quarter.  Disappoint¬ 


ment  with  profits  across  the 
gruup  was  behind  the  fall  in 
the  share,  price  yesterday. 
Highland  shares  now  sell  on 
17  j  times’  Minings.  stiQ  a  20 
per  cent  premium  to  the  rest 
of  the 'sector.  As  a  pure 

Scotch  play,  they  should  only 

be'  viewed  positively  it  as 

some  forecasters  suggest,  the 

next  upturn  in  that  market  is 
not  far  off. 


SOMETHING  TO  GROUSE  ABOUT  r-  «op 

1—440 


Apr  May  Jun  Jut  Aug  Sep  Oct  Nov  Dec  Jan  Feb  Mar 


Camas 


THERE  were  few  surprises 
from  Camas,  which  is  no  bad 
thing  for  a  newly  listed 
company.  European  profits 
forged  ahead  while  the  US, 
excluding  acquisitions,  made 
no  real  headway  largely 
because  of  faltoff  in  volumes 
after  completion  of  Denver 
Airport  Nevertheless,  it  was 
pleasing  to  see  the  company 
making  the  most  of  better 
mark**  conditions,  particu¬ 
larly  in  Britain,  which  is  still 
its  most  important  region. 

Operating  margins  rose  to 
4B  per  cent  from  3.4  per  cent 
on  tiie  back  of  higher  vol¬ 
umes  as  wdl  as  increased 
prices.  Whether  these  volume 
rises  will  be  maintained  in 
the  current  year  remains  to 
be  seen.  Recent  strong 'de¬ 
mand  from  housebuilders  is 
likely  to  tail  off  with  housing 
starts  expected  to  decline.  But 
Camas  has  been  able  to  push 
through  price  increases  and 
with  further  opportunities  to 
cut  costs,  it  should  hold 
margins  even  if  volumes  dip. 


The  prospects  for  progress  in 
the  US  are  less  promising. 
Increased  commercial  activi¬ 
ty  is  likely  to  be  offset  by  a 
decline  in  residential  build¬ 
ing  activity  and  profits  from 
the  region  in  the  current  year 
will  be  similar  to  1994.  On  a 
prospective  p/e  of  about  14 
times,  the  shares  are  fairly 
valued.  .  .  .  . 


Morgan 

Crucible 


MORGAN  CRUCIBLE'S 
performance  in  1994 
a  touch  pedestrian, 
with  operating  profits  up  by 
just  3  per  cent  to  £83.7  mil¬ 
lion.  This  did  nett  deter  the 
City,  which  marked  up .  its 
shares  fay  4  per  cent  yester¬ 
day  in  a  fit  erf  enthusiasm,  a 
sharp  contrast  to  the  disdain 
h  has  lavished  on  other  in¬ 
dustrial  manufacturers 
recently. 

The  reason  behind  such 


optimism  was  Morgan’s 
news  that  its  order  book  is  10 


per  cent  higher  than  a  year 
ago,  helped  partly  by  the  car 


industry's  strong  demand  for 
electric  motors.  While  the 
order  book  only  stretches  out, 
six  weeks,  such  a  sharp  rise, 
in  demand  is  a  promise  of 
widening  margins  and  a. 
jump  in  profits. . 

Morgan  .is  halfway 
through  the  task  of  recydmg 
the  £67  million  it  raised  from 
the  sate  of  the  Holt  Lloyd  car 
care  business  last  year .  The 
group  has  been  adept  at  rein¬ 
vesting  quickly  and  is 
minimising  the  dilution 
caused  by  the  disposal.  The 
group  is  wdl  advanced  in 
finding  acquisitions  in  tech- 
nical  ceramics  and  speciality 
materials.'  The  niche  manu¬ 
facturing  businesses  that 
Morgan  is  keen  on  are  a&l| 
ready  expanding  group™ 
margins.  ..  - 

The  growth  in  Morgan's 
order  book  could  propel  prof¬ 
its  to  £85  miTHrtn  this  year,  a 
17  per  cent  rise.  That  would 
put  tiie  shares  on  less  than  13 
times  earnings,  which  is 
inexpensive.

bought  from.  Air  France  "• 
last  November  forFYLSZ 
UQipfi.  have  been  some¬

-  has  bmt  given  an  April  30  / 
deadline  to  submit  to  the 
‘  court  all  documents 
fog  to  tfaeMerkfienacqui' 
sfoon.  What  the  doctb. . 
merits  should  help  deter¬ 
mine  is  whether  or  not  Sir 
Rocto  really  did  give  a  gu¬ 
arantee  that  his  ownership 
of  the  Merits^)  would  not . 
result  in'  job  aits.-  On 
February  9,  Forte  axuicmn- 
T-ced  a  reorganisatimr  phm 
for  the  entire  hotel  chain. 
Staff  representatives  on 
Meridien's  works  council 
say  toe  Forte  plan  affects 
at  kast  70  of  the  107  people 
employed  at  :foe  chain’s 
administrative  headquar¬

the  works  council,  and  the 
French  media,  to  discuss 
the  matter  with  Randolph  ' 
Guthrie;  Sir  Jtoccb>  right- 
hand  man  have  hot  been 
successful.  MeanWhSe.  if 
the  works  council  does  not 
like  the  eventual  ruBiig 
from  the  court  then  it  can  . 
prolong  the  plan’s  suspen¬

Giving  employers  a 
free  hand  to  hire 
and  fire  is  creating 
insecurity^  says  the 
TUC’s  John  Monks

gone  from  the  industry  over  the  past  six

executive  of  Uopds  Bank,  has  pointed 
'  out  TWs  is  a  severe  blotto  the  Prime 
Ministers  attempt  to  ackfoess  the  vexed 
question  of  nnddle-dass  insecurity.  at 
Saturdays  meeting  of  fee  Conservative 
Central CounriL ... 

Technological  change  afoi  global 
competition  arenothmg  new.  What  is 
new  is  that  deregulation  fend  a  harsh 
indiistrial-rdarkms  dimate  have  given  . 
a  signal to  employers  feat  they  do  not 
have  to  give  proper  regard  to  job 
security.  . 

Insecurityhas  been  encouraged  over 
the  past  16  years  by  a  conscious 
Government  pursuit  of  a  policy  of 
Labour  market  deregulation.  This  has 
been  finked  to eight  pieces  of  legislation 
hostile  ,  to  trade  unkms  and  has  - 
released  eruployars  from  -any  obliga¬ 
tion  to  consult  with  thdr  workforces. 

The  big  empfoyers  used  to  be  the 
ones  who  provided  secure;  and  after 
pensionable,  employment,  but  they  are 
the  rates  how-  cutting  jobs.  MeanwhDe. 
the  new  jobs  that  arebeing  created  are 

in  snmlt  firms  and  are  mainly  part 

time,  short-term  contract,  freelance  or 
sdfanptoyed.  ... 

The  Governments  own  figures  re¬ 
veal  in  fee  Labour  Force  Survey  that 
for  the  year  to  autumn  1994 1 onty  13  per 
cent  of  the  net  increase  in  employment 
was  in  permanent  jobs  —  that  was  a 
mere  39j300  for  fee  whole  of  Britain. 
Fbr  foeresfof  fee  jobs,  46  per  cent  were 
temporary  and.  41.  per  cent  were  setf- 
emptoyed.  Tliis  residte  from’ fee  Gov¬ 
ernment's  determination  to  create  a 
“flexible"labaur  market , 

Such  a  level  of  flexfoaUty.  and  its 
resultant  encouragement  to  economic 
shoot,  termism,  has  encouraged  em¬ 
ployers  to  take'fufl  advantage  of  fee 
vulnerability  of  their  employees.

savings  above  the  level  to  receive 
income  support  and  will  see  their 
savings  reduced  rapidly. 

These  worries  are  added  to  by 
concerns  about  the  cutback  in  income 
support  for  mortgage  payers  in  Octo¬ 
ber.  This  is  added  to  by  the  insecurity 
of  maintaining  a  home.  There  are  1.25 
million  households  in  negative  equity, 
and  250,000  mortgages  are  more  than 
six  months  in  arrears.  Many  middle- 
class  families  fear 
what  they  perceive  as 
the  decline  in  fee  qual¬ 
ity  of  the  health  and 
education  services  and 
pensions  and  benefits. 

Many  have  made  pro- 
viston  through  fee  pri¬ 
vate  sector  and  are 
now  facing  the  pros¬ 
pect  cf  no  longer  befog 
able  to  pay  the  bills. 

Despite  fee  evident 
recovery  feat  is  taking 
place,  particularly  in 
fee  export  rector,  it  is 
equally  evident  feat  , 

this  tias  not  fed  Monfctsed 

through  to  create  the 
famed  “feel  good"  factor.  Voters  have 
long  memories.  John  Major  won  fee 
1992  election  mainly  because  he  per¬ 
suaded  enough  people  that  the  country 
was  set  for  economic  recovery.  But  fee 
recession  continued  to  bite  There  have 
now  been  two  deep  recessions  under 
this  Government  In  many  ways  they 
were  similar.  Both  Bowed  from  eco¬ 
nomic  policy  failures.  Yet  they  were 
also  different  The  first  great  recession 


Monks:  seeking  new  deal 


of  fee  early  1980s  mainly  hit  towns  and 
regions  dependent  on  aedinmg  indus¬ 
tries.  The  victims  were  largely  manual 
workers  and  job  losses  were  geographi¬ 
cally  concentrated. 

While  Britain  suffered  unnecessarily 
badly,  it  was  still  impossible  to  deny 
feat  a  worldwide  restructuring  of 
many  heavy  industries  was  taking 
place.  Even  wife  a  Government  sym¬ 
pathetic  '  towards  shipbuilding  and 
I  steelmaking  towns 
there  would  have  been 
inevitable  changes  in 
Britain's  industrial 
structure. 

The  second  reces¬ 
sion  has  been  called 
by  some  “the  classless 
recession".  Job  losses 
were  as  likely  to  hit 
prosperous  towns  in 
southern  England  as 
defence  procurement 
wa saa,  retailing  went 
into  decline  and  con¬ 
struction  dried  up* 

~  .  ,  Even  people  in  se- 

ig  new  deal  cure  jobs  could  see 
that  their  children  had 
few  prospectsj  of  a  career  in  the 
traditional  sense,  and  at  best  could 
hope  only  for  a  succession  of  tempo¬ 
rary  and  insecure  jobs.  Every  company 
seemed  to  be  in  a  continual  process  of 
downsizing  or  ddayering. 

In  short,  middle  England  has  come 
to  feel  betrayed  —  a  very  powerful 
emotion  that  is  unlikely  to  be  shifted  by 
even  the  most  uplifting  statistics. 
Middle  England’s  residents  had 


bought  the  rhetoric  of  economic  mir¬ 
acle  and  confused  the  credit  boom  of 
the  early  1980s  wife  a  permanent 
improvement  m  their  living  standards. 

Instead  they  have  witnessed  Brit¬ 
ain’s  social  divisions  becoming  sharp¬ 
er,  as  fee  Rowntree  inquiry  into 
Incrane  and  Wealth  showed.  The 
distribution  of  incrane  is  more  unequal 
now  than  at  any  time  since  the  Second 
World  War.  There  has  been  no  “trickle- 
down"  of  wealth:  and  there  is  no 
evidence  that  the  widening  income  gap 
has  increased  economic  growth  and 
raised  fee  living  standards  of  the  poor. 

In  addition,  employment  is  increas¬ 
ingly  polarised  between  households 
with  two  earners  and  a  growing 
number  where  nobody  has  a  job. 

Only  a  new  approach  wife  a  new 
policy  direction  from  the  Government 
will  restive  these  dilemmas  for  all  the 
British  people.  We  need  to  see  fee 
reinstatement  of  full  employment  as  a 
central  polity  objective,  along  with  the 
adoption  fee  European  Union*  Soria) 
Chapter. 

British  employees  should  also  enjoy 
minimum  labour  standards,  including 
a  national  minimum  wage  and  the 
right  to  representation  at  work,  both 
collective  and  individual.  These  objec¬ 
tives  could  be  achieved  by  embracing 
“social  partnership",  between  employ¬ 
ers,  their  workforces,  and  Government 
as  a  means  of  buildfog  a  new  consensus 
within  the  world  of  work,  and  creating  a 
shared  vision  for  fee  future.

Tuckey,  could  look  forward 
to  becoming  fee  first  ‘‘out¬ 
sider’’ to  take  the  helm  in  fee 
bank's  230-year  history. 

But  events  unfold  wife 
frightening  speed  in  fee 
City,  and,  yesterday,  both 
men  put  down  fee  glasses, 
bowed  to  the  inevitable  and 
cashed  in  feeir  chips. 

Mr  Baring.  59,  has  done 
“fee  honourable  thing"  and 
resigned  ahead  of  fee  publi¬ 
cation  of  fee  Bank  of  En¬ 
gland’s  report  on  the 
Barings  collapse.  Mr 
Tuckey,  51,  steps  down  as 
deputy  chairman,  his  crown¬ 
ing  achievement  snatched 
from  his  grasp,  and  is  effect¬ 
ively  barred  from  pursuing 
a  fresh  career  until  the 
Bank’s  report  sees  the  light 
of  day. 

The  affair  has  put  an 
untimely  end  to  one  of  the 
City’s  more  unlikely  double 
acts.  Mr  Baring,  in  his  solid. 

unostentatious  _ 

way,  was  the 
ideal  man  to  TllC 
carry  the 
Barings  ban-  baiT6C 
ner  forward  , 

into  the  nine-  rreSn 
ties.  Quiet  and  .]r|f 

unassuming.  1X111 

he  read  Eng-  Bank 
lish  at  Mag- 
dalene  College,  ’  ’ 
Cambridge,  before  joining 
Barings  Brothers  in  1959. 
when  he  was  just  24.  His 
father.  Frauds,  was  killed  in 
action  in  1940.  His  mother. 
Lady  Rose  Baring,  85.  is  a 
sometime  Lady  in  Waiting 
to  the  Queen. 

Never  one  to  give  inter¬ 
views,  he  summed  up  his 
career  to  a  reporter  wife  fee 
words:  “1  have  been  with 
Barings  all  my  working  life; 
feat  is  all  you  need  to  know." 

He  became  rather  more 
talkative  in  the  wake  of  the 
banks  collapse,  muttering 
darkly  about  conspiracies 
and  suggesting  that  Nick 
Leeson  may  have  been  in 
cahoots  with  an  unnamed 
third  party.  His  claims  were 
greeted  with  scepticism  by 
bankers  and  dealers. 

He  earned  about  £1.2  mo¬ 
tion  in  1993  and  remains 
deputy  chairman  of  Provi¬ 
dent  Mutual  and  chairman 
of  the  British  Merchant 
Banking  and  Securities 
Houses  Association. 

Much  of  fee  blame  for  the 
coDapse.  fairly  or  unfairly, 
falls  squarely  on  Mr 
Tuckeys  shoulders.  He  was 


Tuckey  is 
barred  from  a 
fresh  career 
until  the 
Bank  reports 


the  hands-on  executive, 
heading  Baring  Brothers, 
the  merchant  banking  sub¬ 
sidiary.  and  presiding  over 
(he  corporate  finance  team 
that  advised  blue-chip  di¬ 
enes  ranging  from  Wellcome 
to  Lloyds  Bank. 

Born  and  educated  in  the 
former  Southern  Rhodesia, 
he  qualified  as  an  account¬ 
ant  and  then  did  a  two-year 
spell  wife  British  American 
Tobacco.  He  joined  Baring 
Brothers  in  1968,  becoming 
a  director  within  five  years, 
and  served  as  managing 
director  during  the  eighties. 

Intensely  ambitious,  he 
has  been  variously  des¬ 
cribed  as  impetuous  and 
short-tempered  yet  able  to 
turn  on  fee  charm  when 
necessary.  He  is  said  to  have 
developed  a  taste  for  fee 
Orient  during  a  stint  in 
Hong  Kong.  He  earned  a 
reputed  £1.67  million  in  1993, 
and  used  his  wealth  to 
indulge  his  passion  for  op¬ 
era,  as  a  director  of  the 
Royal  Opera  House  and 
treasurer  of  fee  Friends  of 
Covent  Garden. 

The  Tuckeys  are  weU- 

_  known  in  City 

circles.  An- 

is  draw's  elder 
brother.  Sir  Si- 
TOm  3  mon,  a  High 
Court  judge,  is 
areer  a  Former  head 
of  the  Finan- 
11  rial  Reporting 

JpOrtS  Council  Re- 
r  view  Panel. 

"  His  younger 
brother,  James,  is  chief  exec¬ 
utive  of  MEPC,  the  property 
group. 

Mr  Baring,  as  be  reflects 
on  recent  events,  could  be 
forgiven  a  sense  of  d4ja  vu. 
It  is  almost  two  years  to  fee 
day  since  he  accepted  the 
resignation  of  another  for¬ 
mer  Barings  high-flyer,  the 
enormously  well-paid  Chris¬ 
topher  Heath.  Mr  Heath 
earned  more  than  £3  million 
in  1989  as  head  of  Baring 
Securities,  making  him  Brit¬ 
ain’s  highest  paid  employee, 
but  relations  with  the  bank 
turned  sour  aftera  spectacu¬ 
lar  run  of  success  with 
Japanese  warrants  came  toa 
crashing  halL  Japan  has 
come  round  again,  and  the 
actions  of  one  man  are  back 
in  the  frame:  only  this  time  it 
is  Mr  Baring  who  has  fallen 
on  his  sword. 

Mr  Tuckey.  meanwhile, 
may  have  spotted  another 
irony  in  the  whole  saga.  City 
headhunters  are  busy  with 
another  former  Zimbab¬ 
wean,  a  mere  five  years  his 
junior  and  with  a  fleeting 
spell  in  banking  to  his  name: 
one  Rupert  Pennant-Rea. 


(Company  purpose  embraces  service  as  well  as  profit  Directors’  pay 


From  Mr  Kenneth  Armitage 
Sir,  Mr  John  Argenti  offers 
some  simple  analogies  (Busi¬ 
ness  Letters.  March  28)  to 
support  his  case  feat  organ¬ 
isations  exist  purely  for  fee 
benefit  of  the  major 

shareholder. 

Is  he  suggesting,  therefore, 
that  ffter  House  of  Commons 
exists  for  politicians,  feat  the 
House  of  Lords  exists  for  their 
Lordships,  and  that  the  police 
exist  for  criminals? 

All  organisations  have  more 
than  one  objective.  As  Henry 
Fbrd,  the  founder  erf  the  Ebrd 
Motor  Company,  suggested, 
“it  -has  beat  thought  feat 
business  existed  for  profit 
that  is  wrong.  Business  exists 
for  service.  It  is  a  professfon, 
and  must  have  recognised 
professional  etifics.  to  violate 
which  declasses  man"  and 
“profits  belong  in  three  places; 
they  belong  to  fee  business — 
to  keep  it.  steady,  progressive 


and  sound.  They  belong  to  fee 
men  who  helped  produce 
them.  And  they  belong  also,  in 
part  to  the  public.  A  success¬ 
ful  business  is  profitable  to  all 
three  of  these  interests  — 
planner,  producer  and 
purchaser”.  . 

All  organisations  are  part¬ 
nerships,  not  equal  perhaps, 
but  partnerships  nevertheless. 
This  appears  to  be  the  ap¬ 
proach  adopted  in  most  Japa- 
nese  and  German  companies 
and  probably  explains  why 
they  are  more  successful  Oh, 
and  management  consultants 
and  theorists  exist  for  them¬ 
selves  —  period.  , 

Yours  faithfully.

From  MrE.  /.  Stnwgtwqy 
Sir,  1  appreciate  (but  do  not 
agree  wife)  Mr  Argenti  posi¬ 
tive  approach  to  fee  clarity  of 


company  purpose.  Surely,  in¬ 
creased  shareholder  value  and 
the  profit  motive  must  sit 
comfortably  wife  other  key 
dements  in  the  business  equa¬ 
tion,  viz  employees,  national 
and  local  politics,  social  and 
local  interests  and,  of  course, 
customers  and  suppliers. 

Unless  these  key  dements 
are  recognised  and  “carried", 
1  cannot  see  much  of  a  long¬ 
term  future  these  days  for  fee 
type  of  company  envisaged  by 
Mr  Argenti.  Regardless  of  fee 
point  of  view  held,  these 
issues  deserve  serious  and  on¬ 
going  debate,  and,  thank 
goodness,  at  least  one  forum 
in  London,  fee  Strategic  Plan¬ 
ning  Society,  regularly  ad¬ 
dresses  them. 

Yours  faithfully,

NSPCC  scheme  shows  howto  give  unwanted  shares  to  charity 


From  Mr  Russell  Pends* 

Sir,  Mr  IP.  Simon?  idea  or 
tvmlmc  unwanted  shares  has 


a  number  of  attractions  to 
shareholders  and,  no  doubt, 
would  benefit  fee  chosen  char¬ 
ities  (Letters.  March  28).  How¬ 
ever,  fee  concept  of  holding 
shares  in,  Nfcwco.  pending 
sales  in  fee  fiaure,  is  fraught 
with  dangers  and  is  likdy  to 
&D  foul  of  PSA  regulations. 

Neweo  wiB  lave  to  prove 
that  it  can  provide  adequately 

endures,  safe  custody  ancTin’ 
aprance  safeguards  to  protect 
donors’  tnieresB  while  &ares 

are  held  in  “trusT.  Wouki 
Neweo  be  required  to  be 
registered  wife  an SROTff  so, 
a  suitably  qualified  compli¬ 
ance  officer,  and  other  persm- 
nd.  .would  also  be  required. 
All  this  would  be  expensive, 
resulting -  in  fee  ,  erosion  of 


monies  available  for  distribu¬ 
tion  to  charities. 

Just  over  ,a  year  ago,  I 
organised  a  scheme  fra1  fee 
benefit  of  the  National  Society 
for  fee  Prevention  of  Cruelty  to 
Children  (NSPCC)  wheeby 
clients  of  .Brown  Shipley 
Stodferoklng  could. donate 
their  unwanted  shares  to  the 
charity  at  no  cod  to  them- 
selves.  1  believe  feat  since  its 
inception  fee  NSPCC  has  re¬ 
ceived  several .  thousand 
pounds'  worth  of  shares.  More 
importantly-  it  has  made  use¬ 
ful  contacts  wife  a  large 
number  of  potential  donors, 
some  of  whom  have  pledged 
part  of  their  future  dividend 
income  to  be  donated  regular¬ 
ly  to  the  NSPCC  Ultimately,  I 
suppose,  there  is  nothing  to 
stop  my  clients  instructing  me 
to  pass  on  large  portions  of 
feeur  portfolios  to  the  NSPCC 


in  order  to  be  tax-efficient 
against  inheritance  tax. 

Judging  by  fee  responses  1 
receive  from  investors.  1  can 
promise  Mr  Simon  that  a  need 
does  exist,  and  its  huge,  un¬ 
tapped  potential  recognised  fry 
those  of  us  who  care  for  our 
dtikhm

From  Professor  Emeritus 
P.G.  Forrester 

Sir,  You  report  (March  29) 
that  Alastair  Ross  Goobey. 
chief  executive  of  Postel  Invest¬ 
ment  Management,  is  saying: 
“We  do  have  a  role  to  play  — 
but  not  at  fee  level  of  setting 
individual  executives’  pay." 
This  is,  in  general,  obviously 
right.  Managers'  pay  should 
be  determined  by  more  senior 
management 

But  the  fees  of  directors,  as 
distinct  from  fee  salaries  of 
managers  who  happen  also  to 
be  directors,  should  in  princi¬ 
ple  be  determined  by  those 
they  are  elected  to  represent — 
namely  the  shareholders.  In¬ 
stitutional  shareholders 
should  not  abdicate  this 
responsibility. 

A  special  case  arises  when, 
as  is  so  often  regrettably  fee 
case,  that  the  chairman  of  the 
board  is  also  effectively  chief 
executive  and  the  board  con¬ 
sists  mainly  of  his  subordi¬ 
nates.  Who  then,  other  titan 
fee  shareholders,  is  going  to 
prevent  him  taking  as  much 
as  he  wants? 

Yours  faithfully, 

P.G.  FORRESTER.

Interpreting  dole  data 

From  Mr  John  Shedden 
Sir,  With  regard  to  the  points 
raised  by  John  Wells  (Busi¬ 
ness  Letters,  March  28).  one 
wonders  how  much  of  the 
employment  service’s  success 
in  reducing  the  figures  of 
unemployed  is  attributable  to 
the  weeding  out  of  bogus 
claimants. 

Yours  faithfully.

Far  too  young  to  be  old 

^  "  GRANVILLE  DAVES 


With  his  new  novel 
in  the  shops  and  the 
next  in  his  head,  the 
octogenarian 
Robertson  Davies 
talks  to  Jim  McCue 


Have  any  authors  written 
realty  good  novels  in 
their  eighties?  Robertson 
Davies  cant  think  of  any. 
Not  that  you  would  take  Davies 
himself  for  81.  so  there  is  no  feeling  of 
his  tempting  fate  when  he  says  that 
once  he  has  finished  promoting  his 
fourteenth  novel.  The  Cunning  Man, 
he  will  be  embarking  on  a  further  fat 
ficrion. 

It  will  be  about  growing  old  and  its 
discoveries.  "And  I  hope  to  serve  it  up 
hot  and  strong."  he  says.  He's 
impatient  with  the  image  of  a  mellow 
sunset  of  nostalgia.  “The  old  are 
tormented  by  all  kinds  of  things  you 
might  think  they’d  got  over.  Your 
feelings  don't  get  old.  If  you  hobbled 
up  to  a  pretty  girl  and  asked  for  a 
kiss,  she’d  push  you  in  the  gutter,  but 
the  desire  is  still  there.”  He  cites 
Hardy: 

But  Time,  to  make  me  grieve. 

Part  steals,  lets  pan  abide; 

And  shakes  this  fragile  frame  at 

eve 

With  throbbings  of  noontide. 

By  this  reckoning,  Davies  did  not 
dedicate  himself  to  (action  until  mid- 
aftemoon.  He  had  already  had 
careers  as  an  actor  (under  Tyrone 
Guthrie  at  the  Old  Vic),  as  a 
newspaper  editor,  and  as  first  Master 
of  Massey  College  at  the  University 
of  Toronto.  Meanwhile  he  had  writ¬ 
ten  17  plays,  which  he  modestly  calls 
old-fashioned,  although  one  was 
performed  at  Pitlochry last  year. 

As  a  writer  of  comedies,  he  thinks 
tragedy  is  over-rated.  Even  the 
Greeks  are  not  all  they  are  cracked 
up  to  be  (if  only  Oedipus  had  talked 
things  over  . . .)  and  he  complains 
that  so  much  modem  poetry  and 
fiction  is  a  load  of  fashionable  grief. 
He  does  not  like  books  to  be  bitter  or 
polemical,  or  to  fall  short  of  his  own 
perfect  manners.  “Kingsley  Amis 
never  writes  a  novel  without  belly¬ 
aching  about  something,"  he  says. 
“It’s  an  awful  bore."  The  characters 
in  Davies's  books,  accordingly,  are 
all  more  or  less  sympathetic,  and 
there  is  no  gritted  conflict  or  torment. 

After  three  days  in  London  he  had 
already  seen  both  current  Stoppard 
plays  (“superb"),  and  was  gleeful, 
even  Eloatful.  about  the  portrayals  of 
academic  biographers  on  the  scent  of 
their  literary  prey.  For  Davies  is 
himseir  the  subject  of  a  700-page 
biography  by  Judith  Skelton  Grant, 
recently  published  m  Canada.  “It's  an 
excellent  life  of  somebody  else."  he 
says.  "But  I’ve  really  lived  inside 
myself,  and  she  cant  get  in  there. 
Very  good  writer  though  she  is.  she 
wouldn't  know  how  to  try." 

Since  his  late  start,  the  novels  have 
come  thick  and  fast  —  especially 
thick.  He  also  has  a  fondness  for 
three-deckers,  from  the  earliest.  The 
Deptford  Trilogy,  to  the  most  recent 
—  The  Cornish  Trilogy  (the  middle

Bone,  was  nominated  for  the  Booker 


“The  old  are  tormented  by  all  kinds  of  things  you  might  think  they'd  got  over,”  Robertson  Davies  says.  “Your  feelings  don't  getokP- 


Prize).  The  novels  have  to  be  volumi¬ 
nous.  he  says,  because  as  you 
imagine  a  situation,  you  see  more 
and  more  ramifications.  He  takes  the 
method-actor's  approach.  "You  have 
to  take  in  an  enormous  amount  that 
you  don’t  use  —  where  does  the 
character  work?  where  is  he  going  to 
eat  tonight?  —  which  doesnT  neces¬ 
sarily  get  into  the  book." 

But  you  can  be  sure  that  a  lot  of 
Davies's  own  recherche  researches 
will  get  in.  This  time  it's  cannibalism 
and  comics,  book-collecting  and  reli¬ 
gious  dressing-up  fa  chasuble  —  you 
know,  one  of  those  cloak  affairs  . . 
"Advent  —  you  know,  the  Christmas 
season  in  the  Church  . . .”).  And 
particularly  there  is  a  lot  of  humane 
wisdom  3bout  medicine,  which  Da¬ 
vies  regards  as  an  an. 

Illness,  he  says,  is  not  the  trouble, 
bur  a  symptom  of  die  trouble.  "We 
use  amazing  expressions,  such  as 
’catching  a  cold'.  Now  why  do  you 
‘catch’  a  cold?  You  grab  it  out  of  the 
air  because  you  need  it  for  some 
reason." 

Typically,  then,  the  novel  contains 


a  bibliography  of  holistic  healing: 
Paracelsus.  Robert  Burton,  William 
Osier.  Thomas  Browne.  Whatever 
the  subject  —  and  he  knows  about 
everything  except  politics — Davies  is 
a  great  name-popper.  Every  couple  of 
pages,  up  they  pop.  to  be  explained  in 

that  way  now  habit-  _ 

ual  in  newspapers. 

which  feel  obliged  to  C  Wh\ 

say  “Andrew  Mar-  J 

veil,  the  famous  Celtch 

poet". 

Of  course  there  Rprat 

are  splendid  things  ucvai 

in  the  new  book  —  nfwi 

the  simile  about  law-  I1CCU 

yers  moving  “like  crirnc,  T

ary”:  “the  young  ^ _ 
men  who  dangled 
after  her"  —  although  perhaps  not 
enough  to  sustain  460  pages.  So 
Davies  vamps  and  rehashes  whatev¬ 
er  is  uppermost  in  his  exceptionally 
well-stocked  miscellany  of  a  mind. 

He  delights  in  conducting  cultural 
tours,  especially  of  neglected  land¬ 
marks.  Throuah  the  IWIs  and  1950s

he  wrote  book  columns  for  the 
Canadian  press,  and  his  knowledge 
of  out-of-the-way  literature  is 
tremendous. 

When  academia  called  him  in  1962, 
his  specialist  subject  was  drama  from 
1660  to  1914.  precisely  because  it  is  not 

_  a  great  period.  So 

what  did  hold  the 
io  VOU  stage,  and  why? 

J  After  afi,  he  told  his 

Pfjl/J?  students,  the  plays 

that  turned  out  to  be 
p  vnil  perishable  master- 

cjuu  pieces  can  reveal 

t  fnr  what  people  wished 

L  1L/I  and  feared,  and  so 

9  illuminate  other 

realms  of  literature. 

Gifted  failures  fas¬ 
cinate  him.  (Lots  of 
them  apparently  emigrate  to  Canada 
for  a  fresh  sum.)  The  Cunning  Man 
contains  a  pitying  but  not  patronising 
sketch  of  a  lady  sculptor  who  does  not 
quite  have  what  it  takes.  She  and 
Chips,  her  lesbian  lover,  are  friends 
of  "Dearest  Barb"  Hepworth,  and  we 
are  given  all  too  many  unconvincing 


letters  from  Chips  about  the  disap¬ 
pointments  of  “Dear  One”.  (The 
names  that  “Rob”  gives  his  charac¬ 
ters  are  often  embarrassing  tike  this.) 

What,  then,  should  such  second- 
rate  artists  do?  They  sometimes 
become  embittered,  he  replies,  "but 
there  is  a  place  in  foe  world  for  talent 
that  is  not  of  the  highest  order”.  They 
should  carry  on  as  best  they  can.  And 
that  is  what  he  does,  too.  trusting 
neither  those  who  make  a  cult  of  him 
nor  those  who  would  tear  him  down. 

Journalism,  he  says,  was  a  fine 
school  for  a  novelist-  For  20  years  he 
edited  a  Canadian  newspaper  owned 
by  his  father,  after  writing  his  first 
news  report  at  the  age  of  11. 

His  first  reader  is  his  wife.  Brenda, 
who  sat  knitting  during  our  inter¬ 
view.  She  advises  him.  he  says,  when 
the  writing  is  becoming  inflated  — 
what  she  calls  “lifeworltical  and 
masterpiedcal".  Perhaps  she  in¬ 
dulges  him  too  much.  Bui  truly,  "it 
takes  an  awful  lot  of  talent  to  be  even 
second-rate”

Small  thanks 
to  Big  Brother 

Had  it  not  been  for  a  Soviet  bigwig, 
the  Chamber  Ballet  Prague  might : 
not  be  dancing  in  London  tonight 

During  its  occupation  of  moving  towards  dance  and 
Eastern  Europe,  the  established  bis  first  group  in 
Communist  machine  1964.  Along  the  way  he  has 


During  its  occupation  of 
Eastern  Europe,  the 
Communist  machine 
actually  did  something  right  at 
least  once.  According  to  Pavd 
Smok,  foe  founder  and  chief 
choreographer  of  Chamber 
Ballet  Prague,  his  company 

might  not  be  around  today  if  it 

had  not  been  for  a  Soviet 
bigwig  making  an  "executive 
decision”. 

Smok  met  the  man  in  1983, 
when  he  was  invited  to  Lenin¬ 
grad.  "I  made  a  choreography 

for  the  small  _ _ 

ballet  company 

in  Leningrad”.  C  YOU 

he  says,  "and 

this  man  had  1166(1 

seat  it  and 

wanted  to  fVin 

know  more  uwa 

about  my  com-  rrprmlf 

pany  here  in  pcopit 

Prague.  When  I  ctgop 

told  him  about  Stage 

foe  conditions 
and  how  little  really 
money  there  — 
was,  he  was 
shocked  and  said  he’d  fix  it  1 
thought,  ‘Sure,  big  talk.'  But 
he  started  a  big  action  through 
the  Soviet  Ministry  of  Culture 
and  in  M  days  — 14  days! — we 
had  a  subsidy.  So  l  am  foe 
only  one  person  in  Prague  who 
can  say  the  Soviet  Union 
helped  me." 

Surprisingly,  there  seem  to 
have  been  no  strings  attached 
to  the  money.  "There  was  not  a 
problem  with  what  I  wanted  to 
say  in  my  choreography 
because,  to  them,  it  was  just 
ballet.”  Smok  bats  the  word 
into  foe  air  as  if  It  were  a  fly* 
"You  see.  ballet  was  not  inter¬ 
esting.  not  important  enough. 
To  than  what  was  important 
was  television  and  cinema  and 
newspapers.  -  Sb ^  they  never 
paid  attention  to  me." 

Given  the  direct  emotional 
impact  of  Sack’s  choreogra¬ 
phy,  such  bureaucratic  indif¬ 
ference  is  something  of  a 
surprise— not  least  because  of 
his  penchant  for  nationalist 
composers.  The  eight  dances 
being  presented  in  two  separ 
rate  programmes  at  Sadler’s 
Wells  Theatre  from  tonight 
have  scores  by  Smetana,  JanA- 
Cek  or  Dvorak.  The  angle 
exception  is  a  comedic  piece 
done  to  Mozart  and.  as  Smok 
proudly  points  out,  he  has  a 
legitimate  claim  to  Mozart 
because  his  company's  home 
—  Prague’s  National  Theatre 
—  is  where  Don  Giovanni  had 
its  first  performance  in  1787. 

An  energetic  man  of  67, 
Smok  started  out  as  a  figure 
skater,  becoming  junforcham- 
pion  of  the  Czechoslovak  Re¬ 
public.  While  studying  for  a 
degree  in  engineering,  he  was 
“seduced  by  the  theatre”.  He 
became  a  professional  actor, 
but  gradually  found  himself 


not  too  much  for  touring  yeti 
stiD  small  enough  to  be' 


moving  towards  dance  and 
established  his  first  group  in 
1964.  Along  the  way  he  has 

directed  operas,  films  and 
television. 

.  This  diverse  background 
helps  to  explain  why  be  feds 
so  deeply  that  dance  must  be 
more  than  just  a  series  of 
shapes.  He  creates  characters, 
is  interested  in  relationships 
and  prefers  dancers  who  are 
not  afraid  to  wear  foeir  hearts 
on  their  sleeves.  "Ballet  is  not 
ntily  ballet,”  he  insists.  "It  is 
-•  1  theatre;  'It  has 

to  have  rneft 

6  You  do  not  £*«..-  to 

need  more  JSJUE 

than  16  ^bu^i 

people  on  the  ff  dSScS 

stage  if  they  ^“moreS 

really  dance  5 

_____  really  dance 

and,  -  besides, 
that  is  exactly  the  sum  which  is 
not  too  much  for  touring  yet  is 
still  small  enough  to  be  a 
family." 

People,  namely  his  parents 
and  his  brother,  are  why 
Smok  has  stayed  in  Prague. 
He  spent  three  seasons  (1970- 
73)  as  artistic  director  of  foe 
Basle  Ballet,  in  Switzerland, 
but  decided  to  go  home,  estab¬ 
lishing  his  current  group  in 
1975.  It  has  always  operated  cm 
a  shoestring,  which  is  foe 
main  reason  why  the  reper¬ 
toire  is  top-heavy  with  his  own 
works.  Seven  of  the  eight 
pieces  on  show  in  London  are 
by  Smok;  foe  eighth  —  Eve¬ 
ning  Songs — is  by  Jiri  Kylian, 
artistic  director  of  Nether¬ 
lands  Dance  Theatre.  ^ 

“1  have  no  money  for  oufnde 
choreographers.  1  can  pay  for 
one  small  ballet  **arh  year. 

That  means  we  can  get  some¬ 
body  only  if  they  do  ft  as  a 
favour.  Like  in  the  case  of  Jut 
because  heis  my  friend  and  he 
is  a  Czech,  so  he  helps  us," 
And  foe  future?  “life 
around  foe  company  is  very 
different  now,  that's  very 
pleasant  and  very  nice.  But  the 
work  has  not  changed  very 
much.  The  only  sponsor  used 
to  be  the  Communist  Party. 
Today  if  you  get  no  money 
from  one  sponsor  you  go  to 
another." 

Tire  company's  London  visit 
is  being  underwritten  by  Bank 
Austria:  state  funding  has 
been  cut  in  half.  "But  now  it  is 
so  much  easier  to  go  abroad. 
Now  we  are  just  Ete  you,  just  a 
passport  and  bye-bye.”

A  MODEL  of  a  dry  at  night 
expands  across  one  section 
of  the  gallery.  Light  pushing 
up  and  out  of  the  windows  of 
simplified  cardboard  blocks 
throws  a  reassuring  glow 
onto  chalk-dusty  “streets" 
Photographs  by  Hugo 
Glendinning  of  people 
asleep  in  bed  are  arranged 
on  continuous  chalk-covered 
blackboard.  The  effect  is 
mesmeric;  a  sleepy 
broken  only  occasion  allyby 
the  mutterings  of  members 
of  the  cast  of  Fbrced  Enter¬ 
tainment.  who  sit  in  the  next 
room  around  a  dusty  table 
speaking  out  invented  direc¬ 
tions  for  a  notional  journey 
across  an  imaginary  place. 
A  successful  combination  of 
many  different  media  pro¬ 
vides  a  strangely  somnam- 
bulant  overview.

□  ANDREW  Stahl  has  been

Galleries  « 

woman  takes  up  the  greater  r 
proportion  of  the  canvas  t 
surface.  Very  much  smaller-  i 
scale  fighter  planes,  helicop-  1 
ters,  temples  or  fountains 
hover  and  progress  around 
these  enormities  like  battling 
bugs.  Stahl  now  works  with 
a  greater  variety  of  spatial 
illusion.  Oceans  recede, 
storm  clouds  bank  up.  and 
transparent  cities  glow 
around  heightened  edges. 
His  persistence  with  such 
full  frontal  and  awkward 
imagery  has  paid  off.  Tne 
work  has  settled  down  to 
match  the  vague  with  the 
exact,  the  “foreign"  with  the 
familiar.

□  THE  seven  artists  repre¬ 
sented  in  New  Art  from 
Cuba  at  the  Whitechapel 

•  work  with  a  great  vanety  of 

s  material  and  style.  Al- 
i  though,  of  course.,  there  js  a 

*  familiarity  to  their  method 
,  and  procedure,  many  artists 


use  the  specific  and  local, 
and  even  educative,  to  good 
effect.  Fernando  Rodrigue 
carves  a  straightforward  but 
nonetheless  detailed  narra¬ 
tive  out  of  lumpy  wood  in  a 
deliberate  play  on  souvenir 
plaques  and  popular  rebels. 
Tania  Bruguera  makes  the 
Cuban  flag  up  out  ?t 
snippings  of  human  hair, 
while  Pedro  Alvarez  paints 
dilapidated  American  im¬ 
ports  and  workers’  banners 
against  a  backdrop  of  colo¬ 
nial  Havana.

□  NEW  Brazilian  Art  at  the 
October  Gallery  could  be 
called  Old  Brazilian  Art  in 
that  it  is  rooted  in  “timeless 
abstraction.  Although  the  art 
is  undoubtedly  an  adamant 
result  of  individual  self-ex¬ 
pression,  the  effect  is  a 
-  melting  pot  of  international 
,  language.  .

way  for  perfbrmanoHi^^  fund¬

Under  these  new  pressures, 
police  forces  may  soon  have  reason 
to  be  pleased  with  a  few  brisk' one- 
to-one  assault  cases  with  witnesses, 
bat  reason  fo  dread  any  tricky

JPs  sentenced 
to  more  changes 


Courts  determine  and  impose  sentences. 
Will  magistrates  also  have  the  time  to 
supervise  the  detail  of  the  penalties? 


Michael  Howard's  new  rules  for  policing  and  magistrates'  courts  came  into  effect  on  April  I 


The  new  provisions  will  change 
the  way  policing  is  organised  in 
Britain.  Since  1964.  fee  size  of  police 
authorities  has  been  controlled  by 
local  authorities.  Two  thirds  of  the 
members  were  elected  by  cauncDr 
tors  from  among  themselves,  with 
the  other  one  third  appointed  from 
the  focal  magistracy.  The  Home 
Secretary  had  only  nominal  powers 
over  local  policing.  Under  the  new 
Act,  police  authorities  will  have  17 
members,  of  whom  three  will  be, 
magistrates,  nine  councillors  and 
five  “independent”  members- 
pomtedfrcmalisrproducedlocaUy 
but  shorn  info  a  shortlist  by  the 
Home  Secretary.  :  ;••• 

-  The  independent  members  are 
si?topsed  “tor^i«sentthe  interests , 


crfawiderarigeofpeopfewifemthe 
community  in  the  police  area”  and 
possess  relevant  skills,  knowledge 
and  experience.  Quite  bow  the 
Home  Secretary  interprets  such 
criteria  may  be  judged  by  his 
.selection  of  Sir  John  Quinton  to 
bead  the  first  Metropolitafi  Police 
Committee.  Sir  John  is  a  former 
banker  who  does  not  live  in  London 
and  who  professes  no  special 
knowledge  of  policing.  His  forte,  be 
says,  is  “fee  setting  of  budgets  and 
monitoring  performance”. 

The  changes  enable  the  Home 
.  Secretary  to  exercise  imprecedenr- 
.  ed  influence  over  local  policing.  The 
Mice  Act  of  1964  has  been  amend¬ 
ed,  permitting  him  by  order  to 
“determine  objectives  for  the  polic¬ 
ing  of  the  areas  of  aO  police 
authorities”.  The  annual  local  po¬ 
licing  plans  drawn  up  by  fee  police 


authorities  will  have  to  acknowl¬ 
edge  the  objectives  set  by  the  Home 
Secretary.  So  the  Act  not  only 
allows  for  the  Home  Secretary* 
political  objectives  to  be  imposed  on 
local  forces,  it  also  introduces  his 
right  to  direct  police  authorities  to 
set  “performance  targets"  for  the 
pursuance  of  these  objectives. 


impress 


local  forces  that 


s  upon 

dealing  with  a  certain  type  of  "folk 


As  police  forces  rely  on 
central  government 
grants,  all  this  raises  the 
possibility  of  a  cash  for  co¬ 
operation  exchange.  For  a  police 
force  to  be  “efficient  and  effective” 
—  long€stablisbed  criteria  for  re¬ 
ceiving  government  money  —  it 
may  now  have  to  demonstrate 
some  conformity  with  government 
political  objectives.  In  a  time  of 
moral  panic,  for  instance,  fee 
Home  Secretary  may  wish  to 


devfl”  or  political  agitator  should 
be  a  priority. 

There  is  one  final  section,  not  yet 
implemented,  allowing  for  com¬ 
mercial  sponsorship  of  the  police. 
Under  this  a  force  will  be  able  —in 
connection  with  its  duties  —  to 
^accept  gifts  of  money  or  loans  of 
other  property.  We  can  now  look 
forward  to  policing  sponsored  by 
whichever  company  makes  the  best 
often  a  cigarette  company,  a  bank, 
or  a  second-hand  car  firm.  Whai 
happens  when  the  police  have  to 
investigate  an  alleged  crime  by 
their  sponsor  is  a  problem  the  Act 
ignores.  Perhaps  any  problems  this 
generates  wflj  be  d eared  up  in  yet 
another  piece  of  legislation. 

•  The  author  is  Principal  Lecturer  in 
Law.  Staffordshire  University. 


The  Home  Secretary  is  at  it 
again.  A  new  set  of  guide¬ 
lines  to  toughen  community 
service  sentences  has  now  been 
followed  with  a  Green  Paper 
proposing  a  single  more  effective 
community  sentence  to  replace 
existing  community  punishments. 
JPS  have  had  to  cope  with  four  Acts 
in  six  years  —  the  Children  Aar 
1989,  the  Criminal  Justice  Acts  of 
1991  and  1993  and  the  Criminal 
Justice  and  Public  Order  Act  1994. 
These  necessitated  a  heavy,  even 
onerous,  commitment  to  training, 
so  it  is  not  surprising  if  they  are 
weary  at  the  prospect  of  yet  more 
legislation.

vour  a  more  active  role  for  the 
magistracy  in  determining  what 
actually  happens  to  defendants.

Rugby  Cup,  which  Mr,  Shaw,  dub 
chairman,  beKeves  “is  languishing  in  some 
trophy  cabinet". 


laywers  and  penal  reformers  will  discuss 
this  at  a  conference  at  Lincoln’s  ton  Old 
Hall,  an  April  24  (See  notice  below). 

Derek  Wheatley.  QC.  organiser,  says  if 
there  were  a  way  that  public  opinion  could 
be  sought  or  taken  into  account,  it  “might 
help  to  lessen  the  furore  over  sentences 
considered  out  of  line” 


MA  free  legal  advice  hot  line  (01222 
874580),  staffed  by  postgraduates,  has  been 
set  up  for  travellers  by  Cardiff  Law  School 


for  the  mandatory  life  sentence  for  murder. 
They  were  impressed  by  his  performance 
when  he  appeared  before  them  during 
their  inquiry  into  mandatory  life  sentences. 
He  restated  his  implacable  opposition  to  the 
views  of  senior  judges  —  including  present 
and  former  Lord  Chief  Justices,  and  Lord 
Windlesham.  former  chairman  of  fee  Par¬ 
ole  Board  —  that  judges,  not  Home  Secre¬ 
taries,  should  deride  how  long  murderers 
should  serve.  Instead,  they  will  go  for  more 
openness,  proposing  that  the  setting  of  fee 
term  be  made  more  public.

□  The  CyberNotary  is  coming  to  town. 
Robert  Bond,  who  joins  the  London  firm 
Hobson  Aucfley  as  a  partner,  is  leading  the 
movement  to  allow  international  docu¬ 
ments  to  be  notarised  by  e-mail. 


tiie  Probation  Service  providing 
packages  of  supervision  from 
which  courts  can  select  punish¬ 
ments  tailored  to  individual 
offenders. 

In  principle.  JPs  might  welcome 
greater  sentencing  discretion.  But 
there  are  already  concerns  about 
fee  practicalities.  As  Rosemary 
Thomson.  Magistrates’  Asso¬ 
ciation  chairman,  says,  “It  all 
turns  on  what  giving  the  courts 
'more  say*  means  and  on  what  a 
'more  active  role*  turns  out  to 
imply. 

“It  would  be  very  difficult  for  us 
to  have  oversight  of  fee  everyday 
implementation  of  a  community 
sentence.  And  we  need  to  work  out 
with  the  Probation  Service  what  is 
practicable.  If  we  can't  resolve  feat, 
we  shall  urge  fee  Home  Secretary 
not  to  legislate  in  the  terms 
proposed  because  we  don't  want 
powers  we  cannot  use." 

Magistrates  will  welcome  her 
statement  One  remarked:  “It’s  up 
to  fee  Probation  Service  to  specify 
exactly  what  fee  criminals  should 
do.  This  idea  is  rather  like  requir¬ 
ing  judges  to  make  frequent  prison 
visits  to  see  what  is  happening  to 
the  people  they  have  sentenced.  An 
overview  is  aiwav 


this  kind  of  detail  seems  totally 
impracticable." 

Benches  will  differ  in  what  they 
want  an  offender  to  do.  But  feat 
aside,  the  proposals  look  problem¬ 
atic.  As  another  JP  put  it  “Courts 
cannot  and  should  not  impose 
sentences  which  cannot  reason¬ 
ably  be  carried  out.  There  is  no 
point  in  sentencing  someone  to  a 
drug  rehabilitation  unit  if  the 
nearest  one  is  ISO  miles  away.  How 
are  we  meant  to  know  better  than 
those  who  produce  fee  reports  on 
which  we  act?" 

Others  argue  that  it  is  pointless 
having  a  pick-and-mix  package  of 
punishments  for  offenders  without 
knowing  the  results  of  existing 
supervision  orders.  One  said:  “In 
the  same  way  as  we  get  the  results 
of  appeals,  we  should  get  fee 
results  of  community  sentences  — 
perhaps  via  some 
form  of  monitoring 
Others  consider  fee 
exercise  miscon¬ 
ceived.  “Magistrates 
cannot  be  expected  to 


ays  necessary,  but 


cope  wife  executive  or  admini¬ 
strative  functions,”  said  one  JP. 

There  is  some  support  for  fee 
way  it  is  set  out  in  Holland.  Young 
people  there  may  be  given  a  form 
of  conditional  sentence  feat  carries 
certain  defined  consequences.  Our 
system  of  conditional  discharge 
merely  tells  people  feat  if  they  re¬ 
offend  within  a  specified  period, 
they  can  be  dealt  wife  in  a  different 
way  for  the  previous  offence.  It 
doesn't  spell  out  the  actual  conse¬ 
quence  of  reoffending. 

The  Probation  Service  is  natu¬ 
rally  not  happy  with  the  proposals, 
but  John  Harding,  chairman  of  the 
young  offenders  committee  of  fee 
Association  of  Chief  Officers  of 
Probation,  is  more  sanguine,  argu¬ 
ing  feat  fee  Great  Paper  is  “all 
about  language  and  appearances, 
a  public  relations  exercise  for 
newspaper  readers”,  little,  he  says, 
will  change  “because  magistrates 
don’t  have  the  time  or  fee  skills  to 
deal  personally  with  those  who 
appear  before  them".  At  present 
courts  have  a  duty  to  determine 
and  impose  sentence.  To  expect 
them  to  oversee  sentences  seems 
not  just  impractical  but  potty.

East  advising  both  banks  and  sponsors.

assistants  are  also  encouraged  to  apply  as  the  firm  can  offer  a  very  dear  track 
to  partnership.

Ferguson  looks  to 
the  law  to  ease 


pain  of  frustration 


COULD  a  football  club  sue  a 
foreign  national  team  for  med¬ 
ical  negligence?  The  question 
arises,  in  these  litigious  times, 
because  of  Manchester  Uni¬ 
ted's  anger  that  Andrei 
Kanchelskis  returned  unfit 
from  Moscow  last  week,  ap¬ 
parently  having  had  eight 
injections  for  a  stomach  injury 
in  allow  him  to  play  for  Russia 
against  Scotland  Sometimes 
you  wonder  whether  the  real 
forward  line  of  Alex  Ferguson, 
the  United  manager,  should 
not  read  Cole.  Hughes. 
Kanchelskis  and  Giggs,  but  a 
lawyer,  a  linguist  a  doctor 
and  a  psychologist. 

However,  given  the  needle 
that  has  been  apparent  be¬ 
tween  Ferguson,  manager, 
and  Kanchelskis,  player,  for 
some  months,  making  some 
sort  of  a  claim  against  the 
Russians,  as  Ferguson  in¬ 
dicated  he  was  in  the  mood  to 
do,  might  appear  spurious. 

Kanchelskis  has  been  com¬ 
plaining  on  and  OB'  thar  he 
finished"  games  for  United 
with  stomach  cramps.  The 
doctors  could  find  nothing. 
Ferguson  suggested  that  the 
problems  were  in  the  head, 
and  Kanchelskis  grumbled 
about  seeking  employment 
elsewhere  —  possibly  with 
Glasgow  Rangers,  though 
that.  "too.  appears  to  be  all  in 
the  mind. 

However,  the  question  is  a 
serious  one.  given  the  E10 
million  or  more  that  United 
would  forfeit  if  they  fail  to  re- 
enter  the  European  Cup  next 
season.  The  difficulty  in  law. 
given  the  imponderable  mood 
swings  of  Kanchelskis.  would 
be  proving  that  his  absence 
harmed  United  on  a  given 
dav. 


The  Ukrainian  whippet  had 
already  returned  from  one 
international  in  a  wheelchair 
having  aggravated  an  ankle 
injury.  If  it  is  true  that  a 
Russian  doctor  injected  his 
abdomen  eight  times,  then  it  is 
lime  that  somebody  with  the 
muscle  of  United  creates  a  fuss 
about  the  whole  iniquity  of  the 
painkilling  drug  (condoned  by 
sporting  authorities  even 
though  it  is  used  to  enable  an 
unfit  athlete  to  run  the  risk  of 
permanent  repercussions). 

Yet  Ferguson  might  be  the 
pot  calling  the  kettle  black. 
Has  he  not  this  season  perse¬ 
vered  with  Roy  Keane,  despite 
telling  us  time  and  again  that 
the  man  is  heroic,  that  he 
needs  an  operation  for  a 
hernia?  Is  Ferguson  not  the 
great  champion  of  players 
such  as  Bryan  Robson  and 
Steve  Bruce,  whose  indiffer¬ 
ence  to  pain  the  manager  has 
so  often  said  “is  the  attitude 
that  got  us  to  the  top”. 

I  applaud  wholeheartedly, 
any  stance  taken  against  pain¬ 
killing  drugs;  but  litigation? 
Out  of  the  question.  Statutes  of 
Fifa.  football's  world  govern¬ 
ing  body,  forbid  any  player, 
any  club,  any  association. 
From  suing  anyone  in  author¬ 
ity.  sped  Really  from  suing 
Fifa  itself. 

So.  Ferguson  has  no  re¬ 
course  other  than  to  do  what 


he  did  yesterday,  to  send  the 
dub  doctor  j  and  George 


Scanlan.  the  former  Dean  of 
Humanities  at  Liverpool  Poly¬ 
technic.  to  tzy  to  get  to  the 
bottom  of  what  ails  his  wing¬ 
er,  and  what  exactly  was 
injected  into  him  in  Moscow. 

Meanwhile,  football  and  the 
courts  have  just  concluded 
another  distressing  bout.  Six 
people,  including  construction 
and  security  offitials.  were 
sentenced  to  imprisonment 
last  weekend,  after  the  col¬ 
lapse  of  a  temporary  stand  in 
Basria,  Corsica,  which  killed 
17  people,  and  left  1.000  in¬ 
jured.  Some  of  the  injured,  in 
wheelchairs,  attended  the 
trial. 

Jean-Marie  Boimond.  who 
oversaw  the  construction, 
admitted  culpability  and  was 
sentenced  to  two  years.  Ber¬ 
nard  Rossi,  who  tried  to  say 
that  his  overall  responsibility 
for  security  was  for  die  ground 
but  not  die  stand,  received  18 
months.  They  were  convicted 
of  manslaughter,  though  the 
cry  assassin  was  often  heard 
at  the  hearing. 

Four  others  were  sent  rojaiL 
and  two  more  received  sus¬ 
pended  sentences,  though  the 
ultimate,  if  illegal,  redress  was 
handed  our  to  the  former 
mayor  of  Bastia.  who  was 
murdered  before  he  could 
stand  trial. 

Sport  and  the  law.  the  one 
so  prerise,  die  other  so  riddled 
with  emotion,  do  not  always 
prove  compatible. 


Kanchelskis  received  painkilling  treatment  to  enable  him  to  take  die  field  for  Russia 


Doorman  articulate  in  language  of  percentages 


By  David  Powell 

ATHLETICS  CORRESPONDENT 


SIX  years  ago.  Luis  Felipe  Posso  was 
working  as  a  doorman  in  New  York, 
earning  $25,000  (about  £16.700)  a 
year,  plus  tips.  When  he  quit,  he  told 
his  employer  that,  eventually,  he 
would  make  as  much  in  a  day. 
Sunday  was  one  such  day. 

Posso  has  become  the  most  influ¬ 
ential  athletics  agent  worldwide, 
supplying  runners  to  commercial 
marathons.  He  takes  a  percentage  of 
everything  —  prize-money,  bonus 
money,  appearance  fees,  sponsor¬ 


ship  deals  —  and.  after  the 
N  utraS jveet  London  Marathon,  he 
was  opening  doors  for  nobody. 

Posscj's  diems  indude  Dkntido 
Cerdn  and  Steve  Moneghetti.  who 
were  first  and  second  in  the  men's 
race,  anjd  Malgorzata  Sobanska  and 
Manuela  Machado,  the  winner  and 
runner-up  in  the  women's  event. 
Their  collective  takings  would  have 
amounted  to  some  $650,000.  Posso’s 
cut  would  have  been  way  in  excess  of 
a  doorman's  salary. 

He  is  profiting  now  from  those 
nights  at  the  Boston  Marathon  spent 
sleeping  in  his  car,  when  he  could 


not  afford  the  price  of  a  hotel  room, 
but  neoled  to  work  his  way  in  with 
athletes  and  officials.  Each  morning, 
he  would  go  to  the  race  hotel  change 
into  his  suit  “to  look  like  a  business¬ 
man"  and  start  work. 

“1  would  be  in  the  lobby  all  day 
until  midnight  then  go  bade  to  the 
car."  Posso  said.  His  asset  was  his 
knowledge  of  languages.  The  more 
he  volunteered  to  help  translate,  the 
better  he  got  to  know  people. 

Colombian-bom,  Posso  was  a  2hr 
44m  in  marathon  runner.  “I  was  not 
a  famous  runner,  but  I  loved  to  be 
involved  with  etite  runners."  he  said. 


He  noticed  how  races  were  selling 
athletes  short  and  started  dealing  on 
their  behalf.  Now,  he  has  150 
runners  on  his  books. 

He  never  misses  an  opportunity. 
Marathons  need  pacemakers  and 
there  is  money  there,  too.  Jan 
Humk.  of  Poland,  paced  in  London 
and  is  managed  by  Posso. 

His  surprise  pay  packet  was 
Sobanska,  whose  ambition  had  been 
to  finish  in  the  top  eight  The  value 
which  die  marathon  had  put  on  her 
was  less  than  one-tenth  of  die 
£150.000  whidi  liz  McColgan,  who 
finished  fifth,  was  paid  to  run. 


Sobanska.  25.  recalled  how,  in  her 
only  previous  visit  to  Great  Britain, 
she  had  been  selected  for  the  Poland 
junior  team  for  a  3.000  metres  in 
Ipswich  and  complained  at.  having 
to  run  so  for.  Evidently,  distance  is 
no  problem  now.  She  covered  the 
marathon  on  in  2hr27mm  43sec 
In  an  arrangement  the  envy  of  the 
British  athletes,  the  Polish  federa¬ 
tion  pays  die  salary  of  her  coach, 
who  concentrates  exclusively  on  her. 
Any  money  she  wins,  she  keeps. 
After  rosso's  cut.  of  course.

This  board  featured  a  dash 
between  four  of  the  players 
w  ho  are  in  the  Welsh  home 
international  squad. 

Gary  Martin  had  to  play 
Four  Hearts  from  the  South 
seat,  when  his  partner  had 
forced  to  game  over  West's 
opening  bid  of  One  Chib. 
Prospects  look  pretty  gloomy, 
particularly  when  you  are  toid 
that  there  is  no  doubleton 
queen-jack  of  hearts,  but  Mar¬ 
tin  demonstrated  that  the  con¬ 
tract  could  not  be  defeated 
after  this  opening  lead. 

He  ruffed  the  dub  king  and 
drew  two  rounds  of  trumps, 
thei  settled  down  to  run  all  his 
spade  winners,  discarding  di¬ 
amonds  from  hand.  Adrian 
Thomas,  as  West,  could  see 
that  if  he  mfied  any  of  the 
spade  winners,  his  side  would 
only  be  able  to  take  two 
diamond  winners,  and  declar¬ 
er  would  eventually  arrange  to 


ruff  a  diamond  loser  in  hand 
for  his  tenth  trick.  He  there¬ 
fore  carefully  discarded  three 
dubs  on  the  spades. 

Martin  now  exited  with  a 
diamond  to  the  king,  cutting 
the  defensive  communica¬ 
tions.  Thomas  won  and 
cashed  his  heart  queen,  then 
played  the  dub  ace. 

If  Martin  had  ruffed,  he 
would  have  had  to  concede 
two  diamond  tricks  to  East: 
but  he  simply  discarded  one  of 
the  diamond  losers  from  dum¬ 
my  on  this  trick,  and  the 
enforced  dub  continuation 
from  West  allowed  him  to 
discard  the  other  on  the  next 
trick,  and  score  his  dub  queen 
for  tie  tenth  trick. 

This  is  an  aggravating  hand 
for  the  defence;  they  can  take 
three  winners  m  many  differ¬ 
ent  ways,  but  dedarer  can 
always  get  ten  tricks,  no 
matter  what  they  do.

IT  WILL  be  limited  consola¬ 
tion  for  Paul  Hull  that,  having 
missed  selection  for  the  Eng¬ 
land  World  Cup  squad,  he  has 
now  been  given  the  captaincy 
of  the  England  A  party  to  tour 
Australia  in  May.  The  Bristol 
fall  back  had  pinned_  four 
years*  hopes  upon  playing  in 
South  Africa;  hopes  that  were 
justified  by  his  form  on  tour 
there  with  England’  last 
summer. 

Clearly,  Hull,  with  his  abili¬ 
ty  to  pfoy  in  any  position 
behind  the  scrum  save  scrum 
half,  will  be  in  pole  position 
should  injury  affect  any  of  the 
chosen  backs  between  now 
and  .departure  for  the  World 
Cup  on  May  17.  He  is  one  of 
only  two  senior  internationals  _ 
in  a  youthful  party  to  visit 
Australia  and  conclude  a  sev¬ 
en-match  tour  against  the  full 
Fiji  side  in  Suva. 

Tie  may  be  the  only  one  if  . 
David  Pears  cannot  offer  evi¬ 
dence  of  his  fitness.  The  Harle¬ 
quins  stand-off  half  was 
concussed  in  the  Pilkington 
Cup  semi-final  against  Bath 
on. Saturday  and  needs  more, 
than  one  game  to  prove  that  he 
can  undertake  the  rigours  of  a 
tour  down  under  in  a  party, 
nine  of  whom  toured  Australia 
two  years  ago  with  the  tmder- 
21s.  Should  Pears  withdraw. 
Neil  Ryan,  of  Waterloo,  will 
replace  him. 

The  Rugby  Football  Union 
is  confident  of  another  sell-out 
when  Bath  and  Wasps  meet  m 
foe  PiDrington  Cup  Final  at 
Twickenham  on  May  6.  The 
unions  own  allocation  of 
11.400  tickets  was  sold  by  foe 
end  of  January,  of  whidi  at 
least  3,000  have  gone  to  Bath 
supporters.  Bath  have  re¬ 
ceived  I3£00  tickets.  Wasps, 
with  a  analler  membership, 
will  receive  10.000.

the  TIMES  TUESDAY  APRIL  41995 


The  Masters  provides  poignant  reminder  of  a  champion’s  better  days 


Lyle  struggles  to 
recapture  former 
glories  at  Augusta 


FOR  Sandy  Lyle,  travelling 
down  Magnolia  Drive  in  yes¬ 
terday  morning's  crisp  sun¬ 
shine  was  a  journey  down 
Memory  Lane.  Magnolia 
Drive  was  as  beautiful  as  ever, 
300  tree-lined  yards  leading  to 
the  stately  old  clubhouse  of  the 
Augusta  National  Golf  Club. 

It  brought  back  good  memo¬ 
ries  to  Lyle,  of  his  thrilling 
victory  in  the  I9S8  Masters 
and  of  his  courageous  putting 
on  greens  cut  so  close  that  they 
ihreated  to  turn  blue  from  a 
lack  of  water  and  exposure  to 
the  sunshine.  Most  of  all,  he 
remembered  his  stupendous 
seven-iron  shot  from  a  bunker 
on  the  18th,  called  the  greatest 
bunker  shot  since  Bobby 
Jones's  in  an  Open  Champion¬ 
ship  at  Royal  Lytham  and  St 
Annes  60  years  earlier. 

Those  were  the  days,  seven 
years  ago,  when  Lyle  had  the 
world  at  his  massive  feet.  The 
Open  champion  in  1985.  he 
played  a  dominant  role  in 
Europe's  victory  in  the  1987 
Ryder  Cup  at  Muirfield  Vil¬ 
lage.  the  first  in  the  United 
States. 

Now.  he  appears  to  be  on 
his  knees,  metaphorically 
speaking.  The  man  who  was 
one  of  the  best  players  in  the 
world  in  1988  has  finished 
among  the  top  20  players  in 
Europe  only  once  since  then. 
His  last  Ryder  Cup  appear¬ 
ance  was  in  1987. 

The  cause  of  Lyle’S  troubles 
is  a  source  of  worry  for  all 
those  who  like  and  admire  this 
talented  man.  The  rocks  on 
which  he  has  foundered 
include  a  withering  of  his 
confidence,  a  divorce,  dimin¬ 
ishing  skill  on  and  around  the 
greens  and  a  continual  tinker¬ 
ing  with  his  technique.  Anno 
domini  cannot  be  overlooked, 
either. 

Ian  Woosnam  has  a  theory 
that  golfers  mature  around  the 
age  of  30.  that  this  is  the  time 
when  the  disparate  character¬ 
istics  that  flower  and  wither  at 
different  times  combine  to  fuse 
for  a  few  fleeting  years. 

“1  certainly  played  my  best 
between  1987  and  1991," 


John  Hopkins  finds  one  of  golf’s 
most  popular  players  attempting 
to  defy  the  inevitable  effects  of  time 


BASKETBALL 


Woosnam.  who  was  bom  in 
March  1958.  said.  "I  was  a 
better  golfer  then  than  I  am 
now." 

The  same  would  appear  to 
apply  to  Nick  Faldo,  who  won 
five  major  titles  between  July 
1987.  when  he  celebrated  his 
thirtieth  birthday,  and  1992 
and  who  has  won  none  since, 
and  Lyle,  who  was  bom  in 
1958.  If  every  rule  needs  an 
exception  to  prove  iu  then 
Nick  Price  provides  it  in  this 
case.  He  has  been  playing  his 
best  golf  since  he  celebrated 
his  35th  birthday. 

“I  was  at  my  best  in  1987. 


Davis  Love  made  sure  of  an 
invitation  to  the  US  Masters, 
which  starts  at  Augusta.  Geor¬ 
gia.  on  Thursday,  with  victory 
in  the  Freeporf-McMoran 
Classic  in  New  Orleans  on 
Sunday.  Love  won  at  the 
second  extra  hole  in  a  sudden- 
death  play-off  with  Mike 
Hemen.  also  of  the  United 
Stales,  after  they  had  complet¬ 
ed  the  tournament  in  274,  14 
under  par.  Sandy  Lyle  was  the 
leading  Britoa  a  7]  giving 
him  a  total  of  283,  with  Ian 
Woosnam  one  shot  behind. 


1988.  that  sort  of  time."  Lyle 
said.  “It  seemed  easier  then." 
He  won  four  events  in  the 
United  States  and  three  in 
Europe  in  those  two  years. 

Lyle  also  looked  more  com¬ 
mitted  then.  In  New  Orleans 
last  week,  another  player 
talked  of  a  practice  round  he 
had  played  with  Lyle:  “Sandy 
didn't  seem  interested."  he 
said.  “His  mind  wasn't  on  the 
job.”  In  the  first  round.  Lyle 
hit  a  ball  into  a  bush  and  gave 
up  the  search  for  it  before  the 
allotted  five  minutes  had 
elapsed. 

Lyle  still  hits  the  ball  enor-

OMOMANIA 

(b)  ,Vn  irresistible  urge  to  buy  lhing&  tbe  modern  mass  mat  for 
shopping.  From  lbe  Greek  onetrvin  10  bos-.  Tbe  condition  t$  peaeraUY 
found  in  association  with  penury.  Where  a  is  noL  it  soon  wfl!  be.  since 
oniomaniacs  tend  to  marry  each  other. 

CADLCELS 

(a)  This  is  the  rod  entwined  with  snakes  traditionally  carried  by 
Hermes,  alias  Mercury,  god  of  healing,  amnme.  Horace, 
pcvdiopoxnpeiy.  thievery  and  many  other  trades  and  profcsnoes.  The 
Gtduccus  was  regarded  until  recently  as  the  symbol  of  commerce,  bm 


has  now  been  adopted  as  tbe  symbol  of  the  medical  profession. 
Hermes'S  cadoeens  enabled  him  to  ily  and  to  loll  to  sleep  the  souls  of 

die  dead  before  carrying  them  to  die  underworld. 

ENCHIRIDON 

(cl  A  handbook  or  notebook,  from  the  Greek  for  “ a  useful  something 
that  can  be  bdd  in  the  hand-.  “I  do  so  admire  yonr  new  BMW.  Justin. 
Bui  I  should  pay  dose  attention  to  the  aichiridoa.  if  I  were  yon." 
MOLNSTER 

(a)  Aa  obsolete  spelling  and  pronouncing  variant  of  monster.  "1  am  so 


pleased  that  young  Morag  Is  jearmng  to  ride  a  horse  new.  Look  at  them 
both  now  walloping  around  the  paddock.  What  a  pair  they  make  — 
mount  ana mo  raster." 

SOLUTION  TO  WINNING  CHESS  MOVE 
I. . . .  Ng3-k  2.  ftgJ Qf6*:  A  Q£2  O.  Kgl  Rxei«)  3. . . .  Rxel»: 4.  fLwl  Qx£3»; 
5.  Kxi2  l2  and  ihe  pawn  will  promote. 


mous  distances  and  retains 
the  phlegmatic  temperament 
that  has  been  so  helpful  to 
him.  but  the  way  he  swings  in 
practice  and  when  he  hits  a 
ball  are  dramatically  different. 
His  practice  swing  is  conven¬ 
tional  enough,  his  hands  trav¬ 
el  ling  on  a  regular  plane.  The 
swing  he  mates  at  the  ball, 
however,  is  so  flat  that  his 
hands  go  back  around  his 
waist  It  looks  iflee  a  drunken 
heave. 

Lyle  talks  of  the  ways  in 
which  he  is  trying  to  make  it 
more  upright  and.  to  this  end. 
he  practises  with  a  harness 
and  a  baseball  glove.  So  far,  it 
seems,  to  little  avail. 

The  difficulty  that  Lyle  faces 
is  how  to  raise  his  game  now 
that  his  competitive  edge  is 
blunted  by  his  comfortable 
income — though  his  contracts 
are  running  out  —  and  a 
rewarding  family  life.  He  lives 
in  some  comfort  with  Jolande. 
his  second  wife,  and  their  two 
young  children  near  Biggar  in 
Scotland,  where  he  teaches  his 
two  sons  from  his  first  mar¬ 
riage  to  play  golf  and  occa¬ 
sionally  encourages  Jolande  to 
do  so  as  welL 

Next  year.  Lyle  can  rejoin 
die  United  States  Tour  and  he 
intends  to  do  so.  basing  him¬ 
self  near  Tony  Jacklin  and 
family  in  Palm  Beach.  Florida. 
There  is  little  to  keep  him  in 
Europe,  where  his  only  re¬ 
maining  contract  is  with  Lyle 
and  Scott,  the  knitwear  manu¬ 
facturers.  It  is  Lyle's  last 
chance. 

□  Harvey  Penick.  the  author 
of  two  of  the  most  successful 
golf  books  of  all  time,  died  on 
Sunday  night,  aged  90.  Pfenick 
was  the  professional  at  the 
Austin  Country  Oub.  Texas. 
Ben  Crenshaw  and  Tom  Kite, 
two  of  Pt nick’s  former  pupils, 
will  attend  the  funeral  in 
Austin  tomorrow.

While  it was  good  to  see  Horizon 


Matthew 

Bond 


tackling  such  complex  science 
again,  it  did  so  with  a  certain  ring¬ 
rustiness.  Still,  nothing  feat  a  few 
scientific  Sparring  sessions  can’t 
put  right 

One  of  fee  great  mysteries  of  life 
having  been  addressed,  it  was  time 
to  turn  to  another.  No.  not  what 
John  Major  is  doing  in  Downing 
Street  ( Panorama ),  but  bow  it  can 
cost  £48.50  to  go  from  Victoria 
Station  in  London  to  the  Kensing¬ 


ton  Hilton,  a  distance  of  some  two 
miles.  The  answer  lies  with  the 
unlicensed  taxis  that  illegally  tout 
for  business  at  our  airports  and 
railway  stations. 

To  give  its  investigation  a  little 
edge.  Undercover  Britain  (Chan¬ 
nel^  invited  Sue  Hutchinson,  a 
formidable  woman  who  runs  a 
south  London  and  definitely  ko¬ 
sher  mini-cab  firm,  xo  conduct  it 
This  she  did  with  considerable 
enthusiasm  and  courage,  employ¬ 
ing  an  American  accent  of  doubt¬ 
ful  aufeentirity  and  my  least 
favourite  investigative  device,  the 
camera  concealed  in  a  suitcase. 
Always  leaves  me  feeling  so  giddy. 

The  infiltration  of  fee  station 
touts  she  left  to  her  researcher. 
Patrick,  who  she  said  was  dis¬ 
guised  as  a  drifter  but  looked  just 
tike  a  Channel  4  researcher  to  me. 
Nevertheless,  he  passed  muster 
and  was  soon  unhappily  rubbing 
shoulders  wife  fee  likes  of  Dough¬ 
nut  and  Rabbit,  men  whose  sole 


purpose  in  life  is  to  relieve  unsus- 
peenng  travellers  of  unbelievable 
amounts  of  money.  “Can  you  "bush 
people?”  asked  Doughnut:  “take 
aU  their  money  off  them?  Don’t 
work  for  me  if  you  canX"  Patrick 
thought  he  could  —  in  the  interests 
of  research,  of  course. 

If  it  wasn’t  so  awful,  what  they 
exposed  would  have  been  quite 
funny.  Like  fee  driver  who 
confidently  announced:  “You  are 
now  in  south  London.”  as  he  drove 
yet  another  curious  American 
accent  up  Park  Lane.  Or  fee  driver 
who,  when  confronted  wife  the 
evidence  at  5am.  swore  blind  feat 
it  was  his  twin  brother  who  had 
charged  £19.50  to  go  from  Victoria 
to  a  Regent  Street  hotel. 

The  programme  was  long  on 
damning  evidence,  but  short  on 
solutions.  Hutchinson,  however, 
had  definitely  made  her  poini. 

Which  is  an  awful  lot  more  than 
can  be  said  for  Deadline  (Chan¬ 


nel  4).  One  behind  the  scenes  look 
at  Yorkshire  Television’s  Calen¬ 
dar  programme.  J  could  just  about 
understand,  but  six?  This  week’s 
action-packed  instalment  featured 
Richard  WhiteJey  smnding  in  from 
of  a  blue  screen  for  five  minutes 
and  one  of  Pontefract’s  unem¬ 
ployed  angrily  wondering  why 
when  she  had  gone  to  all  fee 
trouble  of  shouting  over  Michael 

POrriJlo's  interview,  fee  Calendar 

team  had  gone  to  all  fee  trouble  of 
editing  her  oul  Still,  if  feat  didm 
grab  you  there  was  always  Jake 
Manglewurrie  marrying  his  mud 
wrestler,  not  to  mention  the  two 
young  women  learning  to  read  fee 
Autocue. 

But  undoubtedly  fee  most  in¬ 
structive  episode  concerned  fee 
problems  that  Yorkshire  women's 
passion  for  high  heels  presents  for 
long-suffering  sound  men.  “We’ll 
just  wait  for  the  clippity-clop  to 
pass."  said  one.  Now  there's  a  bit 
of  good  advice.

My  Good  Friend 
.  J7V.  S30pm 

The  latest  offeringfrom  the  prolific  but  uneven  Bob 
Larbey,  whose  As  Time  Goes  By  is  currently  on  BBC), 
is  a  wry  study  of  old  age.  Melancholy  music  and 
fedting  leaves  establish  fee  tone,  reinforced  by  our  first 
sight  of  widower  Peter  (George  Colzas  he  lays  flowers 
(to  his  wife's  grave.  Peter  lives  with  his  daughter  and 
:  soo-inTaw.  She  finds  him  irksome  when  he  is  there 
and  worries  about  him  when  he  is  not  He  chums  up 
wife  another  old  codger  (Richard  Pearson)  in  a 
relationship  that  seems  likely  to  survive  its  tetchy  start. 
My  Good  Friend  is  described  as  a  comedy  drama,  but 
is  not  over-endowed  with  either  laughs  or  incident.  It  is 
a .  benign,  writ-observed  and  rather  sad  piece, 
sustained  by  expert  playing  from  its  seasoned  stars. 

Omnzbas:  Jean  Renoir 

BBC1. 1030pm  (Scotland  11.15pm) 

Originally  scheduled  for  last  year,  when  it  would  have 
cauehr  fee  Renoir  centenary,  David  Thompson’s 
intelligent  two-part  profile  is  still  better  late  than 
never.  Although  greatly  admired  by  cinema  buffs  and 
by  other  film-makers,  Renoir  does  not  enjoy  die 
popular  reputation  of  his  faiher,  Auguste,  the  painter. 
Vet  as  ftter  Bogdanovich  puts  it.  Jean  Renoir  made  ft 
possible  to  believe  that  fee  cinema  could  create 


Tavernier  and  Louis  Malle,  dissect  Renoir*  humanity 
and'  feel  for  cinema  in  a  programme  which 
concentrates  on  the  great  1930s  films  such  as  La 
Grande  Illusion  and  La  Regie  du  Jen . 

Network  First:  Small  Mirades 
/TV.  10.40pm 

Caroline  Monkman  is  expecting  twins  but  her  babies 
are  in  trouble.  One  is  taking  too  much  blood  from  the 
placenta,  the  other  not  enough.  Monkman  is  referred 
to  Professor  Kypros  Nicolaides  of  King’s  College 
Hospital  in  London  who  has  pioneered  a  laser  surgery 
operation  that  could  save  the  twins' lives.  But  there  are 
nsks  and  fee  professor  is  honest  about  them.  The  film 
follows  this  and  other  cases  which  call  upon 
hficolaidert  expertise,  including  a  screening  test  for 
Down’s  Syndrome  and  an  unborn  baby  with  fluid  oh 
both  its  hmgs.  If  fee  programme  tends  to  concentrate 
on  his  successes,  it  also  mentions  his  failures.  He 
admits  that  once  he  used  to  cry  in  front  o  this  patients. 
He  still  finds  it  difficult  to  deal  wife  bad  news.

Victory  puts  Australia  in  charge 


West  Indies 
facing  test 
of  character 

From  John  Woodcock  in  Bridgetown.  Barbados 


FOR  the  first  time  since  1975- 
76.  when  Clive  Lloyd’s  side 
gave  up  the  ghost  in  Australia. 
West  Indies  cricketers  are 
faced  with  a  crisis  of  confi¬ 
dence.  Australia  not  only  won 
the  first  Test  match  of  this 
series  here  on  Sunday,  but.  in 
doing  so.  they  also  showed 
West  Indies  up  as  being  badly 
in  need  or  cohesion.  One  of  the 
strengths  or  modem  West 
Indian  sides  has  been  that 
players  have  pulled  for  each 
other:  in  this  one.  they  seemed 
not  lo  be  doing  so. 

In  Andy  Roberts,  they  have 
a  new  manager  who  was 
much  feared  as  a  bowler  and 
still  has  a  fairly  quelling  way 
with  him.  He  knows  more 
than  enough  to  have  seen  thaL 
at  times.  Ambrose  and  Walsh 
were  at  half-cock,  and  that  far 
too  many  West  Indies  wickets 
were  thrown  away.  At  the  end 
of  the  first  day.  after  West 
Indies  had  been  bowled  out 
for  195.  Roberts  attributed 
their  negligence  to  a  surfeit  of 
one-day  cricket;  but  nobody, 
himself  included,  can  have 
been  convinced  by  thaL 

Mark  Taylor,  die  Australia 
captain,  was  surprised  to  find 
that  when,  early  in  the  Austra¬ 
lia  first  innings,  he  hooked  at 
Ambrose,  he  had  finished  his 
stroke  before  the  ball  arrived. 
Ambrose  has  been  kept  out  of 
the  game  with  shoulder  trou¬ 
ble.  but  in  one  of  the  stands 
was  a  West  Indian  banner 
suggesting  that  his  shoulder 
was  not  the  matter  so  much  as 
his  attitude.  There  were  no 
such  half  measures  with  the 
Australians:  they  were  wholly 
committed  and  played  very 
well  for  their  ten-wicket 
victory. 

Several  times  in  recent 
years,  one  has  thought  that 
West  indies  were  ready  for  the 
taking,  but  it  has  never  quite 
happened.  Their  fast  bowlers, 
and  the  confidence  which  they 
transmit  have  allowed  them 
to  prevail.  When  they  have  lost 
a  Test  match,  as  they  did 
against  England  here  in 


Bridgetown  last  year,  it  has 
usually  been  after  the  series 
has  been  won.  It  is  a  very 
different  matter  losing  a  first 
Test  match,  let  alone  in  com¬ 
fortably  under  three  days; 
when  they  are  searching  for 
an  opening  pair,  have  an 
ageing,  somewhat  mercurial 
attack,  and  have  just  brought 
back  a  captain  who  has  been 
through  the  torment  of  a 
breakdown. 

The  advantage  Richie  Rich¬ 
ardson  had  when  he  took  over 
the  West  Indian  side  from 
Vivian  Richards  in  1991  was 
that  he  is  a  less  daunting 


Waqar  doubt  — 


_ 36 


figure  than  his  predecessor 
and  the  players  were  happier 
for  iL  He  was  never  a  percep¬ 
tive  tactician,  any  more  than 
Richards  had  been  or  Lloyd 
was.  but  he  grew  into  the  job 
and  was  well  liked.  Captain¬ 
ing  West  Indies  to  success 
through  the  Nineties  had  been 
a  matter  simply  of  shuffling 
the  fast  bowlers  and  acquiesc¬ 
ing  in  as  much  intimidation  as 
they  could  get  away  with. 

Richardson  now  returns  to  a 
side  that  has  been  rather 
enjoying  itself  under  Courtney 
Walsh,  their  caretaker  cap-

tain,  and  at  a  time  when  he. 
himself,  is  searching  desper¬ 
ately  for  confidence,  not  only 
as  a  batsman  but  also  in  his 
own  worldliness.  From  now 
on.  he  will  need  ail  the  help  he 
can  get  from  his  team,  and 
Roberts  will  have  told  them  so 
in  no  uncertain  terms. 

The  West  Indian  selectors 
are  also  under  pressure.  To 
have  included  two  unfledged 
opening  batsmen  was  indica¬ 
tive  of  an  over-confidence  in¬ 
duced  by  West  Indies’s  easy  4- 
I  victory  in  the  one-day  series 
and  the  absence  from  the 
Australia  ride  of  Craig 
McDermott. 

The  Australians  were 
delighted  that  neither 
Simmons  nor  Arthurion  was 
chosen  for  the  first  Test  match. 
They  felt  that  they  had  less  to 
fear  from  Campbell  and  Wil¬ 
liams.  who.  in  the  event, 
totalled  only  17  runs  between 
them. 

There  is  further  resentment, 
too.  that  Desmond  Haynes, 
rather  than  going  in  first  for 
West  Indies  last  week,  as  he 
had  wanted,  was  making  92 
for  Western  Province  against 
Orange  Free  State  in  Bloem¬ 
fontein. 

In  Brian  Lara,  of  course. 
West  Indies  still  have  the 
world’s  best  batsman.  To  him. 
almost  anything  is  possible. 
With  one  innings,  he  could 
transform  the  series.  Mention 
of  him  brings  one  to  that 
“catch",  the  one  that  never  was 
of  the  first  day  but  which, 
unfortunately,  accounted  for 
Lara  when  he  had  made  65. 

Considering  to  whom  it 
happened,  when  it  happened 
and  that  nobody  is  in  any 
doubt  that  Steve  Waugh  put 
the  ball  down,  h  has  caused 
remarkably  little  antagonism. 

If  Australia  had  been  playing 
England,  it  would  have  regis¬ 
tered  on  the  Richter  scale. 
Here,  prudently,  there  are 
seen  to  Ik  more  far-reaching 
reasons  for  such  an  unexpect¬ 
ed  defeat 

□  Craig  McDermott,  the  Aus¬ 
tralia  fast  bowler,  has  aban¬ 
doned  plans  to  rejoin  the  tour 
after  medical  tests  on  torn  i 
ligaments  ruled  out  an  early  j 
recovery. 


Conner  and  his  S  tars  &  Stripes  crew  celebrate  the  victory  over  Mighty  Mary  thar  forced  a  sail-off  between  the  yachts  today.  ' 

Conner  draws  level  in  battle  of  the  sexes 


IF  NOTHING  else.  Dennis  Conner  is 
a  master  of  survival.  Hie  America's 
Cup  maestro,  pummelled  from  aD 
sides,  fought  bade  to  gain  a  decisive 
victory  over  Bill  Koch’s  women's  crew 
off  San  Diego  on  Sunday  to  keep  hopes 
alive  that  his  Stars  8  Snipes  team  can 
continue  towards  a  record  sixth  tilt  at 
yachting's  premier  trophy. 

Had  Leslie  Egnot  and  her  crew  on 
Mighty  Mary  won.  then  Conner,  who 
has  withstood  a  barrage  of  protests  on 
and  off  the  water  during  the  past  week, 
would  have  been  knocked  out  of  the 
cup  before  reaching  the  finals  for  the 
first  time  in  more  than  two  decades. 

Instead,  a  victory  today  in  a  sudden- 
death  sail-off  against  Mighty  Mary 
will  propel  Conner,  the  only  man  lo 
have  lost  and  regained  the  America's 
Cup,  through  to  the  Citizen  Cup  finals 
against  Kevin  M  ah  alley's  champion 
defence  candidate.  Young  America. 

“We  fed  we  have  momentum  now." 
Paul  Cayard  who  shares  the  wheel  of 
Stars  8  Stripes  with  Conner,  said  after 
their  one-sided  four-minute  win.  “IPs 
been  a  tough  week,  especially  after  the 
jury  took  away  one  of  our  wins  over  the 


Bany  Pickthall  on  the  male  failings  that  prevented 
a  triumph  over  chauvinism  in  the  America’s  Cup 


keel  change,  but  now  we  have  a  real 
chance." 

Koch,  whose  vision  and  wealth  have 
helped  mould  a  disparate  team  of 
female  rowers,  weightiifters  and  other 
athletes  into  a  workfrdass  sailing  crew, 
was  frustrated  as  victory  over  male 
chauvinism  slipped  away. 

The  greatest  irony  was  that  just 
when  the  women  sailors  had  their 
greatest  success  in  right,  it  was  the 
man  Koch  had  brought  on  board  to 
replace  J.  J.  Isler.  the  female  tactician, 
who  lost  the  race.  Dave  Detienbaugh 
was  the  controversial  inclusion  to  this 
once  all-women  crew  whose  strategic 
sldBs  were  meant  to  sharpen  up  the 
team's  tactical  abilities.  Yet  it  was  he 
who  made  the  greatest  tactical  mistake 
of  them  all  —  steering  the  boat  over  the 
start  tine  early. 

It  was  an  unforced  error  drawn  from 
a  last-minute  dither  as  to  which  end  of 
the  line  to  start  Twenty  seconds  before 


the  gun,  he  was  in  two  minds  about 
whether  to'  rnntfnw  harassing 
Gooner*  yacht  or  fade  away  for  a  dear 
start,  at  the  committee  boat  eod  of  the 
line:  DeDenbaugh  shot  die  boat  up  into 
the  wind,  changed  Ms  mind  and  bore- 
back  down  towards  Stars  8  Stripes. 
Then,  moments  before  the  starling  gun 
fired,  he  pulled  the  wheel  down  again 
and  was  caught  with  Might  Marys 
bows  across  the  line  three  seconds 
early.  • 

By  the  time  that  he  had  handed  the 
wheel  over  to  Egnot  to  steer  the  rest  of 
tlie  race  and  she  had  returned  to  cross 
the  line  correctly.  Mighty  Mary  was  a 
mighty  53  seconds  adrift  In  her  21 
starts  before  this  semi-final  series,  Isler 
had  not  been  caught  out  in  such 
embarrassing  fashion,  although  she 
was  late  once  for  a  start 

As  a  result  Conner,  who  once  said 
that  he  would  give  iq>  sailing  if  ever 
beaten  by  the  women,  had  the  victory 


he  needed  most  handed  to  him  on  a 
plate,  ending  a  three-race  losing  streak 
that  only  hours  before,  had  looked  Eke 
tearing  him  high  and  dry  for  the  test  of 
the  series.  Instead,  Conner  levelled  the 
series  3-3  and  wan  die  right  to  a  sad- 
off 

The  race  jury,  headed  fay  John 
Doerr,  the  Briton,  swiftly  cleared  die 
backlog  of  protests  and  counter-pro¬ 
tests  that  have  surrounded  the^gotro- 
versial  keel  change  to  Conners 
damaged  yacht  a  week  ago.  The 
litigious  issues,  which  threatened  to 
submerge  the  event  and  drag  the 
bade  to  die  dark  days  of  1988,  when  the 
cup  was  fought  over  in  the  Supreme 
Court  were  dealt  with  in  the  firmest 
manner.  "• 

Doerr  refused  Koch’s  request  to 
reopen  the  bed  issue,  dismissed 
Conners  protest  against  Young  Ameri¬ 
ca  and  spoke  darkly  of  charging 
protesters  with  unsportsmanlike  cox- 
duct  if  any  more  frivolous  issues  were 
brought  to  his  attention.  As  a  remit 
two  other  protests  slid  pending  were 
quietly  withdrawn,  leaving  the  waters 
dear  for  a  good  dean  fight  today.

Blackburn  primed  to  widen  gap 


By  Peter  Ball 

BLACKBURN  Rovers  can 
take  another  step  towards  the 
FA  Carling  Premiership  tide 
at  Loftus  Road  tonight  A  win 
against  Queens  Park  Rangers 
will  put  them  eight  points 
dear  of  Manchester  United 
with  only  six  games  to  {day. 

Their  fortuitous  win  at 
Evenon  on  Saturday,  com¬ 
bined  with  United’s  failure  to 
beat  Leeds  United  on  Sunday, 
appeared  to  tilt  the  balance 
firmly  in  Blackburn's  favour. 
Kenny  Dalglish,  the  Black- 
bum  manager,  as  always, 
refused  yesterday  to  look  be¬ 
yond  tonight,  but  the  feeling 
grows  that  the  fates  are  with 
his  team,  and  even  he  recog¬ 
nises  his  side's  luck  a: 
Goodison  Park. 

"Every  team  needs  a  bi:  of 
good  fortune  and  we  were  a  bi: 
short  on  that  in  the  early  part 
of  the  season,  so  maybe  it  is 
catching  up  with  us  now  ."  he

said.  “Perhaps  the  luck  we  got 
cr.  Saturday  at  Evenon  was 
due  ic  us." 

United  can  only-  hope  that 
Blackburn's  luck  has  run  out 
Perhaps  it  has.  for,  after 
avoiding  Duncan  Ferguson, 
the  Scotland  international 
striker,  at  Goodison,  they  now 
rur>  into  an  England  forward, 
since  Rangers  will  be  strength¬ 
ened  by  the  return  of  Les 
Ferdinand,  who  has  a  habit  of 
scoring  against  Blackburn. 
Ferdinand  missed  the  1-0  win

with  knee  and  shoulder  inju¬

contrast  to  Shearer,  Black- 
bum’s  spearhead. 

If  Dalglish  refuses  to  take 
anything  for  granted,  his  trib¬ 
ute  to  his  team  yesterday 
morning  sounded  like  a  trib¬ 
ute  to  champions.  It  also 
provided  a  testimony  to  the 
qualities  required  to  win  an 
English  championship.  “You 
only  get  luck  if  you  work  hard 
for  it  and  they  have  worked 
tremendously  hard."  Dalglish 
said.  They  [the  piayersj  have 
shown  they  can  play,  they've 
shown  they  can  compete:  they 
can  play  against  footballing 
sides,  they  can  play  against 
physical  sides,  which  you  have 


to  da  They  can  play  in  the 
wind  and  the  rain  and  even  in 
the  few  bits  of  sun.  They've 
been  through  all  our  seasons 
and  they  are  still  standing 
there  to  be  counted." 

□  Cambridge  United,  of  the 
Endsleigh  Insurance  League 
second  division,  yesterday  dis¬ 
missed  Gary  Johnson,  thar 
manager,  and  placed  Tommy 
Taylor,  the  former  West  Ham 
player,  in  temporary  charge. 

□  Three  Welsh  nan-league 
clubs  —  Newport  AFC.  Col- 
wyn  Bay  and  Caernarfon 
Town  —  have  been  banned 
indefinitely  by  Fife,  the  sport's 
world  governing  body,  from 
all  competitions  from  the  end 
of  this  season.  The  Fbotball 
Association  of  Wales  is  being 
taken  to  the  High  Court  by  the 
dubs  for  refusing  to  allow 
them  to  play  in  the  English 
pyramid  system  from  their 
Welsh  bases.

Game  in  turmoil  over  rebel  league

Kerry  Packer,  the  Sydney  rebel 
tycoon  whose  world'  circus  split 
cricket  in  1977.  is  the  unlikely 
establishment  figure  now  battling  to 
prevent  a  “Packer-style"  television  revo¬ 
lution  of  rugby  league. 

For  World  Series  Cricket  read  Star 
League,  a  proposed  ten-team  super 
league  in  Australia  and  New*  Zealand 
which  has  attracted  around  100  deserters 
from  the  Australian  Rugby  League 
IARL).  Paster's  Channel  Nine  television 
network  holds  exclusive  rights  for  ARL 
games,  and  he  is  determined  to  shepherd 
them  back  into  the  fold 
The  ARL  its  coffers  swelled  by  Packer, 
extracted  loyalty  pledges  yesterday  from 
25  players.  However,  most  of  the  present 
Australia  side  have  signed  up  for  the 
alternative  competition  with  News  Limit¬ 
ed.  part  of  The  News  Corporation,  of 
which  Rupert  Murdoch  is  chairman  and 
chief  executive  and  which  is  the  parent 
company  of  The  Times. 


Christopher  Irvine  on  how  a 
super  league  in  Australia  may 
affect  rugby  league  in  Britain 

Star  League  matches  are  due  to  be 
screened  from  next  year  on  pay  television 
in  Australia  and  via  BSkyB  and  Star-TV 
in  Great  Britain  and  Asia. 

Ricky  Stuart  the  Australia  scram  halt 
is  among  the  prominent  figures  to  sign, 
hut  Packer  ami  the  ARL  were  last  night 
still  attempting  to  dissuade  him.  "1 
bdieve  in  the  super  league  concept" 
Laurie  Daley  said  “and  my  future  is 
secured"  —  a  reference  to  the  stand-off 
ball's  reputed  seven-year  El  million  deal. 

A  ban  on  rebels  playing  any  represen¬ 
tative  rugby  was  not  an  unsurprising 
resort  by  the  ARL  It  is  one  way  in  which 
the  stride  might  be  taken  out  of  the 
Australians  in  the  World  Cup  this 


autumn  in  England  and  Wales,  but 
hardly  a  satisfactory  one.  Ripples  from 
die  revolution  12J)00  miles  away  might 

extend  to  leading  players  in  Britain  being 

enticed  Then,  there  is  the  question  of 
Wigan’s  on-off  World  Club  Challenge 
defence  in  June  against  Canberra,  one  of 
three  dubs  facing  expulsion  by  the  ARL 

The  possibility  of  a  world  league 
controlled  from  Australia  troubles  the 
Rugby  Football  League.  Rodney  Walter, 
the  chairman,  said  “In  the  event  of 
Murdoch  creating  a  schism  in  Australia, 
it  is  inevitable  he  will  want  to  talk  to  us.  If 
we  simply  sit  bade  and  allow  him  to 
cherry  pick,  there  would  be  the  efee  and 
the  rest." 

Less  than  a  month  after  the  launch  of 
four  new  teams  is  an  expanded  Winfield 
Cup.  the  revolt  from  within  appears  far 
more  serious  than  die  one  quashed  by 
Packer  in  February.  Unless  delayed  by 
court  action,  the  rebels  could  be  up  and 
running  by  next  March.
